Corticosteroids
This is an educational list of interactions tied to a public source. It is not a complete medication review and it is not medical advice. Ask a pharmacist, or the clinician who prescribes the medicine, before you start, stop, or change a supplement. A pair that is missing here is not a safety clearance.

NCCIH reports interactions between licorice and corticosteroid medicines such as prednisone. The page does not spell out every dose.
Deglycyrrhizinated licorice has the glycyrrhizin removed. NCCIH discusses that form separately and does not give it this interaction sentence.

Ask before you combine
NCCIH says interactions between licorice and corticosteroids have been reported. It does not list a safe combined dose. People taking prednisone or a similar steroid should tell the prescriber before using licorice root. Deglycyrrhizinated licorice is a different product, and this sentence is about licorice that still contains glycyrrhizin.
