Besides, myopathy is likely to occur as a result of hypokalemia. (Refer to the section “Clinically significant adverse reactions”.) Since glycyrrhizinic acid and diuretics have an accelerating action on the potassium excretion at the renal tubules, an acceleration of decrease in the serum potassium level has been suggested.
