Yes it seems so. Large doses of glycyrrhizinic acid and glycyrrhetinic acid in liquorice extract can lead to hypokalemia and serious increases in blood pressure, a syndrome known as Apparent Mineralocorticoid Excess.

Licorice affects the body’s endocrine system. It can lower the amount of serum testosterone, but whether it affects the amount of free testosterone is unclear.

The licorice that you crave, though, may actually be anise flavoring found in “licorice” candy often sold in the United States. It might increase the blood pressure

Sometimes and its depends 

For medicinal purposes today, licorice can be processed to remove the glychyrrhizin the component responsible for the negative side effects. The result is called deglycyrrhizinated licorice or DGL.
