It's a major ingredient in MAK tablets and a minor one in nectar. Doubt if they'll change the recipee jus for her, however. I personally am not convinced that its the licorice that caused her problems since its supposed to be an accumulative thing having to do with sodium retention. But you can't argue with someone who may or may not have had a minor stroke due to something about trying that thing again because you suspect the ER doctor's diagnosis was wrong. > > > > Of course, it might not have been the MAK or at least not the > licorace, but just the stress > > of the new job, but she stopped taking it and her BP is normal > again. with medication > > > > 250 mg/day.
