Abstract
A case of hypokalemic myopathy with systolic hypertension due to chronic liquorice ingestion is described. The clinical features quickly receded on potassium replacement therapy and discontinuation of liquorice ingestion. The relationship between the clinical features and the blood values and instrumental data is shown. The aldosterone-like action of the active principle of liquorice is underlined.Entities:
