[Rhabdomyolysis due to licorice ingestion]
Abstract
Liquorice, a medicinal plant of the Italian pharmacopoeia, can give rise to adverse reactions and drugs interferences. On the main international scientific databases we made an "all years" search to find out case reports dealing with rhabdomyolisis due to liquorice ingestion. We found 77 cases, 7 of which in Italy.
