Effect of deglycyrrhizinated liquorice on gastric mucosal damage by aspirin

Scand J Gastroenterol. 1979;14(5):605-7. doi: 10.3109/00365527909181397.

Abstract

Gastric mucosal damage induced by giving 60 mg aspirin orally to rats was reduced by simultaneous administration of 100-500 mg deglycyrrhizinated liquorice. Human faecal blood loss induced by 975 mg aspirin orally three times a day was less when 350 mg deglycyrrhizinated liquorice was given with each dose of aspirin.
