Tea
Real black licorice contains a compound that can raise blood pressure and cause fluid retention – the exact opposite of what amlodipine is trying to achieve. Even small amounts eaten regularly can push your numbers in the wrong direction and increase swelling.
Prescription drug discount
It’s surprising how many packaged snacks still include it.
Break the habit easily:
Check ingredient lists for “licorice
extract” or “glycyrrhizin.”
Choose plain fruit candy or dark chocolate instead.
Opt for herbal teas without licorice root when you want something warm.
