dexAMETHasone licorice

Applies to: Dxevo (dexamethasone) and licorice

Talk to your doctor before using licorice together with dexAMETHasone. Products containing licorice (glycyrrhizic acid) can cause high blood pressure as well as salt and water retention. Prolonged treatment with dexAMETHasone can also have these effects. Generally, you should avoid or limit the consumption of licorice if you are being treated with dexAMETHasone for more than just a few days. Check your food and medicine labels to be sure those products do not contain licorice or glycyrrhizic acid, which may be found in licorice-flavored chewing gum or candy, chewing tobacco, certain ethnic foods and beverages, and some herbal diuretics or laxatives. It is important to tell your doctor about all other medications you use, including vitamins and herbs. Do not stop using any medications without first talking to your doctor.
