Who should be especially careful when taking a supplement with licorice? — Licorice, 90 Vegetarian Capsules - OstroVit

The card gives only general warnings: do not exceed the recommended daily dose (1 capsule a day), do not use as a substitute for a complete diet and take individual tolerance into account; it has no separate warnings about licorice (blood pressure, pregnancy, medication).

General information (not a manufacturer's instruction): glycyrrhizic acid – the main standardised component of licorice extract – can, when taken for a long time or without control, affect the water-salt balance and blood pressure, so consult a doctor before use if you have blood pressure problems, a tendency to swelling or water-salt metabolism disorders, take medication (especially diuretics, heart or hormonal drugs), are pregnant or breastfeeding, or plan to take the supplement for longer than a few weeks in a row. The supplement is not a medicine and is not intended for the treatment or prevention of diseases.
