No one here likes licorice, luckily, but I recently learned that steroids and licorice are not two great tastes that taste great together.
Per WebMD, “Licorice can decrease how quickly the body breaks down corticosteroids. This can increase the effects and side effects of corticosteroids.”
So, good to know. Hopefully, I never need to use this information because licorice is vile.
