Abstract
We report a case of a young female who presented with acute onset quadriparesis secondary to severe hypokalemia. She was normotensive and had no metabolic alkalosis or kaliuresis. Serum potassium was corrected over the next few days and the quadriparesis resolved completely. A detailed history later on revealed that she had been consuming alternative medication for infertility for a prolonged duration and had discontinued it a month prior. One of the ingredients of this medicine was Glycyrrhiza glabra.
