While researching licorice extract a few years ago I discovered that it contains a substance (something like "glyzzherisdsmjkkfls...") that acts as a none-too-weak MAOI. If you were taking a prescription MAOI at the time I bet this could have triggered a hypertensive crisis even if you didn't eat a ton of licorice.
> > Does anyone know anything about reactions to Licorice extract? I understand that it is used quite commonly in Europe as a food additive in a prue form. I have recently returned from a trip overseas where I experienced a hypertensive crisis which sent me to the hospital. At this point I am trying to determine causitive factors. Any information would be helpful. Thanks Stephany
