What is the dosage of compound licorice oral solution for children?

Compound licorice oral solution can effectively help us treat the symptoms of cough and lung heat that children often suffer from. The effect is very good. It can also effectively help us improve children's intestinal digestion ability and effectively help us improve children's full absorption of nutrients. Let's popularize the dosage of compound licorice oral solution for children in detail.

The main component of licorice is glycyrrhizic acid (the potassium and calcium salts of glycyrrhizic acid are commonly known as glycyrrhizin, which is the sweet component of licorice), which has similar effects to the hormone aldosterone produced by the human adrenal cortex. Therefore, long-term or large-dose use of licorice can cause "pseudo-aldosteronism": edema due to decreased urine volume and increased water storage in the body; excessive sodium accumulation in the body causes high blood pressure; excessive loss of blood potassium causes hypokalemia, leading to arrhythmias and muscle weakness. Experiments have shown that even if the amount of licorice taken per day is only 50 grams, taking it for two consecutive weeks can cause high blood pressure. Electron microscopy observations have shown that licorice can cause myocardial damage. Licorice has estrogen-like effects. Pregnant women taking licorice can cause premature birth. There are clinical reports that children taking glycyrrhizin tablets may develop breast development. Licorice can lower the level of testosterone in men's blood, leading to impotence and shrinkage of the testicles and penis. Based on experimental and clinical evidence, to avoid adverse reactions, the acceptable amount of glycyrrhizin (potassium and calcium salts of glycyrrhizic acid) is 0.015 to 0.229 mg per kilogram of body weight per day.

We, our parents and friends, must pay special attention to the dosage of the compound licorice oral solution for children introduced above. Excessive intake of oral solution may have counterproductive effects on ourselves. We must follow the doctor's advice to help us better solve our own disease symptoms.
