Its dual identities as a traditional Chinese material medica and a natural phytocomponent have led to the underestimation of its latent adverse drug reactions (ADRs) in clinical and research.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Objective:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This study adopted a retrospective literature analysis method and stratified subgroups based on the inherent attribute differences of different study types, aiming to explore the characteristic differences in ADRs induced by glycyrrhiza-containing Chinese patent medicines under different study designs and considering the individual differences among patients.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Design:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A retrospective literature analysis was conducted in this study.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This study adopted a retrospective study design.

Patient-related high-risk factors included males aged &gt;60\u2009years, hepatic insufficiency, or drug allergy history. Drug-related risk factors included off-label dosage, specific administration routes, and concomitant use with thiazide diuretics, drugs that induce arrhythmias or electrolyte disturbances, as well as agents with high plasma protein binding rates. All these factors were associated with the incidence and severity of ADRs. Most symptoms were alleviated following timely drug withdrawal and targeted treatment.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>ADRs induced by Glycyrrhiza-containing Chinese patent medicines involve multiple organ systems.
