GARCIA LLOPIS, P; SEMPERE MANUEL, M; ROTH DAMAS, P y PALOP LARREA, V. Multiple fractures and unusual consumption of licorice pastillas Juanola®. Rev. OFIL·ILAPHAR [online]. 2020, vol.30, n.1, pp.69-70. Epub 18-Ene-2021. ISSN 1699-714X. https://dx.doi.org/10.4321/s1699-714x2020000100017.
Licorice (Glycyrrhiza glabra) has been considered a medicinal plant for thousands of years, and it is included in several compounds for its flavor, sweetener and anti-inflammatory properties. It is not free of side effects, including high blood pressure due to its mineralocorticoid effect. In addition, there are flavonoids in licorice extract which increase serum parathyroid hormone (PTH) and urinary calcium levels. We report a case of a 60-year-old woman with multiple bone fractures associated with an unusual and exaggerate consumption of pastillas Juanola (PJ), product based on licorice extract.
