Licorice in tea and bc - risk?

[lisajaneheath123]

Hi, i have drank some stomach tea for last three days. I have just read that licorice root can interfiere with birth Control. Im on Nuvaring. I checked the amount of licorice - its says its 0,2 g im daily portion. So i consumed a little less than1g in three days.
Should i be worried? Honestly i only Heard to not take st John wort before... Never Heard licorice can affect the bc. Im freaking out. What do you think?

@lisajaneheath123 medicines that interfere with HBC

licorice root - webmd
Also, milk thistle should be avoided if taking ANY medication webmd

I'm not an expert in this field so I can't tell you if the amount of licorice root you took diminishes the effect of your birth control but I would use a barrier method as back up just in case.
