Does licorice extract in lollies affect the birth control pill? if so how long will it affect it for?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
In large doses : If you're simply talking about eating a lollipop from time to time then the licorice is not going to make a difference. If you're talking about using licorice extract in large doses as a medicinal herbs and yes it can affect birth control.
