Safety & Side Effects

Effetti collaterali segnalati

  • Generally very well-tolerated (glycyrrhizin removal reduces risk of major side effects)
  • Mild nausea in rare cases
  • Headache (uncommon)
  • If glycyrrhizin is NOT fully removed: hypertension, hypokalemia, edema (ensure true DGL product)

Interazioni note

  • Digoxin (if residual glycyrrhizin present, hypokalemia may increase digoxin toxicity)
  • Diuretics (if residual glycyrrhizin, additive potassium loss)
  • Corticosteroids (if residual glycyrrhizin, additive mineralocorticoid effects)
  • Warfarin (theoretical interaction if residual glycyrrhizin affects metabolism)

Livello di assunzione massimo tollerabile: Not established for DGL specifically; DGL removes the toxic glycyrrhizin component
