Who should not take this syrup or should ask a doctor before using it? — LICORICE ROOT SYRUP 100ML (Тверская ф.ф., Россия) ( koren solodki )

Licorice root syrup is not suitable for everyone, and some people should ask a doctor before using it. According to the product information, this includes women who are pregnant, people with kidney problems, people with high blood pressure, and people who experience swelling or low potassium. It also includes anyone taking diuretics, corticosteroids, or blood pressure medicines.

The caution relates to glycyrrhizinic acid, a natural component of licorice root that may influence blood pressure and potassium balance when consumed in higher amounts. That does not mean every person will have a problem, but it is a reason to use the product only as directed and not in large or prolonged amounts.

If any of these situations could apply to you, talk to a doctor or pharmacist before starting the syrup. This product is a food supplement, not a medicine, and it should not replace a varied diet. For adults without these cautions, the main point is moderation: follow the label and do not treat the syrup as a long-term daily habit.
