Excessive intake of liquorice can cause hypokalaemia and hypertension and generally, the onset and severity of symptoms depend on the dose and duration of liquorice intake, as well as individual susceptibility.

Thecase emphasizes the importance of considering a detailed patients' history, which often lead the treating physician to the correct clinical diagnosis
