HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Similase Sensitive Stomach by Integrative Therapeutics
Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.
What’s inside
Partial disclosure
Similase Sensitive Stomach contains 7 active ingredients designed to support digestion. Three are digestive enzymes: amylase (breaks down starches), lipase II (breaks down fats), and cellulase II, part of a microbial enzyme blend.
The product also includes marshmallow root extract and slippery elm for soothing, mucilage-containing botanicals commonly used to ease digestion. Deglycyrrhizinated licorice root extract (licorice with the glycyrrhizin partially removed) is included for gastrointestinal comfort, and gamma oryzanol rounds out the formula.
The capsule itself is made from hypromellose (a plant-based coating), cellulose, and calcium laurate as inactive ingredients.
Does it work?
Not established
The evidence backing most ingredients in this product is limited. Deglycyrrhizinated licorice is possibly effective for canker sores and atopic dermatitis (eczema), making it the only ingredient with a documented benefit rating in our data.
Gamma oryzanol is possibly effective for dyslipidemia (abnormal blood lipid levels), though that's not the intended use here. For the other active ingredients — amylase, cellulase II, slippery elm, lipase II, and marshmallow root — the evidence we hold is insufficient to rate them for any condition.
That doesn't mean they don't work; it means reliable clinical data establishing their effectiveness for specific purposes isn't yet available in the resources we checked.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Deglycyrrhizinated licorice is generally well tolerated when used short-term and in appropriate doses, though long-term safety with high doses isn't fully established. The most common side effects reported orally are headache, nausea, and vomiting; contact dermatitis can occur with topical use.
Marshmallow root and slippery elm are generally well tolerated for short-term use, but human safety data are limited for both. Slippery elm pollen is a known allergen, and both botanicals can cause contact dermatitis.
Gamma oryzanol is generally well tolerated in studies, though long-term safety isn't well established. Lipase II has no reported adverse effects in adults, but safety data in pregnancy and breastfeeding are limited.
For pregnancy: the safety data advise against deglycyrrhizinated licorice and gamma oryzanol. Marshmallow root, slippery elm, and lipase II don't have enough reliable information — talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized guidance.
For breastfeeding, deglycyrrhizinated licorice and gamma oryzanol should be avoided, and there isn't enough data on marshmallow, slippery elm, or lipase II — discuss with your healthcare provider.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
Before taking this product, check with your doctor or pharmacist if you take heart medications — especially digoxin, blood thinners like warfarin, chemotherapy agents (cisplatin or paclitaxel), sedatives such as midazolam, loop diuretics (water pills), lithium, or drugs metabolized through CYP2B6 or CYP2C19 pathways. The licorice and marshmallow content also may slow absorption of other oral medications you take.
Slippery elm could interfere with oral drug absorption as well. No interactions are documented for the enzyme components we could check.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glancePartially disclosed formula with no established evidence rating for its marketed use. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.
Similase Sensitive Stomach may appeal to you if you're looking for enzyme support with herbal botanicals for digestive comfort. If you take heart medications (especially digoxin), blood thinners like warfarin, chemotherapy drugs, sedatives, or water pills, or if you take lithium, you need to check your specific medications with your doctor or pharmacist before starting this product.
The interactions are real and could affect how your medications work. Pregnant or breastfeeding?
Talk with your doctor first, especially given the limited safety data on several ingredients and the cautions around licorice.

Similase Sensitive Stomach by Integrative Therapeutics Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
Similase Sensitive Stomach by Integrative Therapeutics contains ingredients that interact with medications, chiefly through its deglycyrrhizinated licorice root extract and marshmallow root extract.
The most serious interaction is between the licorice content and digoxin (Lanoxin), a heart medication — licorice may increase the risk of heart toxicity by affecting potassium levels.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
The licorice in this product interacts with a wide range of medications. It may reduce the effectiveness of warfarin (a blood thinner) by speeding up how your body clears it.
It can raise levels of drugs your liver metabolizes through certain pathways (CYP2B6, CYP2C19 substrates), potentially making them stronger. It may also interfere with loop diuretics (water pills like furosemide), cisplatin (a chemotherapy drug), paclitaxel (another chemotherapy agent), and midazolam (a sedative).
Marshmallow root extract may theoretically interfere with how your body absorbs other oral medications and could affect lithium levels. Slippery elm, another ingredient here, may slow the absorption of oral drugs generally.
We couldn't check amylase, cellulase II, or the microbial enzymes — interaction data isn't on file for those. Altogether, these interactions span 2,122 individual medications.

For each ingredient in Similase Sensitive Stomach with known interactions, here are the types of medications they can affect. Open any type for the detail — or search your exact drug in the checker above.
Marshmallow Root Extract
Lithium
Theoretically, due to potential diuretic effects, marshmallow might reduce excretion and increase levels of lithium.
Marshmallow is thought to have diuretic properties. To avoid lithium toxicity, the dose of lithium might need to be decreased when used with marshmallow.
Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs
Theoretically, marshmallow flower might have antiplatelet effects.
Animal research suggests that marshmallow flower extract has antiplatelet effects. However, the root and leaf of marshmallow, not the flower, are the plant parts most commonly found in dietary supplements. Theoretically, use of marshmallow flower with anticoagulant/antiplatelet drugs can have additive effects, and might increase the risk for bleeding in some patients.
Oral Drugs
Theoretically, mucilage in marshmallow might impair absorption of oral drugs.
Marshmallow contains mucilage which can affect oral drug absorption. To avoid changes in absorption, take marshmallow 30-60 minutes after oral medications.
Slippery Elm
Oral Drugs
Theoretically, slippery elm may slow the absorption and reduce serum levels of oral drugs.
Slippery elm inner bark contains mucilage, which may interfere with the absorption of orally administered drugs.
Deglycyrrhizinated Licorice Root Extract
Antihypertensive Drugs
Theoretically, licorice might reduce the effects of antihypertensive drugs.
In human research, licorice increases blood pressure in a dose-dependent manner.
Cisplatin (Platinol-Aq)
Theoretically, licorice might reduce the effects of cisplatin.
In animal research, licorice diminished the therapeutic efficacy of cisplatin.
Corticosteroids
Theoretically, concomitant use of licorice and corticosteroids might increase the side effects of corticosteroids.
Case reports suggest that concomitant use of licorice and oral corticosteroids, such as hydrocortisone, can potentiate the duration of activity and increase blood levels of corticosteroids. Additionally, in one case report, a patient with neurogenic orthostatic hypertension stabilized on fludrocortisone 0.1 mg twice daily developed pseudohyperaldosteronism after recent consumption of large amounts of black licorice.
Cytochrome P450 2B6 (Cyp2B6) Substrates
Theoretically, licorice might increase levels of drugs metabolized by CYP2B6.
In vitro research shows that licorice extract and glabridin, a licorice constituent, inhibit CYP2B6 isoenzymes. Licorice extract from the species G. uralensis seems to inhibit CYP2B6 isoenzymes to a greater degree than G. glabra extract in vitro. Theoretically, these species of licorice might increase levels of drugs metabolized by CYP2B6; however, these interactions have not yet been reported in humans.
Cytochrome P450 2C19 (Cyp2C19) Substrates
Theoretically, licorice might increase levels of drugs metabolized by CYP2C19.
In vitro, licorice extracts from the species G. glabra and G. uralensis inhibit CYP2C19 isoenzymes in vitro. Theoretically, these species of licorice might increase levels of drugs metabolized by CYP2C19; however, this interaction has not yet been reported in humans.
Cytochrome P450 2C8 (Cyp2C8) Substrates
Theoretically, licorice might increase levels of drugs metabolized by CYP2C8.
In vitro, licorice extract from the species G. glabra and G. uralensis inhibits CYP2C8 isoenzymes. Theoretically, these species of licorice might increase levels of drugs metabolized by CYP2C8; however, this interaction has not yet been reported in humans.
Cytochrome P450 2C9 (Cyp2C9) Substrates
Theoretically, licorice might increase or decrease levels of drugs metabolized by CYP2C9.
There is conflicting evidence about the effect of licorice on CYP2C9 enzyme activity. In vitro research shows that extracts from the licorice species G. glabra and G. uralensis moderately inhibit CYP2C9 isoenzymes. However, evidence from an animal model shows that licorice extract from the species G. uralensis can induce hepatic CYP2C9 activity. Until more is known, licorice should be used cautiously in people taking CYP2C9 substrates.
Cytochrome P450 3A4 (Cyp3A4) Substrates
Theoretically, licorice might increase or decrease levels of drugs metabolized by CYP3A4.
Pharmacokinetic research shows that the licorice constituent glycyrrhizin, taken in a dosage of 150 mg orally twice daily for 14 days, modestly decreases the area under the concentration-time curve of midazolam by about 20%. Midazolam is a substrate of CYP3A4, suggesting that glycyrrhizin modestly induces CYP3A4 activity. Animal research also shows that licorice extract from the species G. uralensis induces CYP3A4 activity. However, licorice extract from G. glabra species appear to inhibit CYP3A4-induced metabolism of testosterone in vitro. It is thought that the G. glabra inhibits CYP3A4 due to its constituent glabridin, which is a moderate CYP3A4 inhibitor in vitro and not present in other licorice species. Until more is known, licorice should be used cautiously in people taking CYP3A4 substrates.
Digoxin (Lanoxin)
Theoretically, concomitant use of licorice with digoxin might increase the risk of cardiac toxicity.
Overuse or misuse of licorice with cardiac glycoside therapy might increase the risk of cardiac toxicity due to potassium loss.
Diuretic Drugs
Theoretically, concomitant use of licorice with diuretic drugs might increase the risk of hypokalemia.
Overuse of licorice might compound diuretic-induced potassium loss. In one case report, a 72-year-old male with a past medical history of hypertension, type 2 diabetes, hyperlipidemia, arrhythmia, stroke, and hepatic dysfunction was hospitalized with severe hypokalemia and uncontrolled hypertension due to pseudohyperaldosteronism. This was thought to be provoked by concomitant daily consumption of a product containing 225 mg of glycyrrhizin, a constituent of licorice, and hydrochlorothiazide 12.5 mg for 1 month.
Estrogens
Theoretically, licorice might increase or decrease the effects of estrogen therapy.
Theoretically, licorice might interfere with estrogen therapy due to estrogenic and anti-estrogenic effects.
Loop Diuretics
Theoretically, loop diuretics might increase the mineralocorticoid effects of licorice.
Theoretically, loop diuretics might enhance the mineralocorticoid effects of licorice by inhibiting the enzyme that converts cortisol to cortisone; however, bumetanide (Bumex) does not appear to have this effect.
Midazolam (Versed)
Theoretically, licorice might decrease levels of midazolam.
In humans, the licorice constituent glycyrrhizin appears to moderately induce the metabolism of midazolam. This is likely due to induction of cytochrome P450 3A4 by licorice. Until more is known, licorice should be used cautiously in people taking midazolam.
P-Glycoprotein Substrates
Theoretically, licorice might decrease the absorption of P-glycoprotein substrates.
In vitro research shows that licorice can increase P-glycoprotein activity.
Paclitaxel (Abraxane, Onxol)
Theoretically, licorice might decrease plasma levels and clinical effects of paclitaxel.
Multiple doses of licorice taken concomitantly with paclitaxel might reduce the effectiveness of paclitaxel. Animal research shows that licorice 3 grams/kg given orally for 14 days before intravenous administration of paclitaxel decreases the exposure to paclitaxel and increases its clearance. Theoretically, this occurs because licorice induces cytochrome P450 3A4 enzymes, which metabolize paclitaxel. Notably, a single dose of licorice did not affect exposure or clearance of paclitaxel.
Warfarin (Coumadin)
Theoretically, licorice might decrease plasma levels and clinical effects of warfarin.
Licorice seems to increase metabolism and decrease levels of warfarin in animal models. This is likely due to induction of cytochrome P450 2C9 (CYP2C9) metabolism by licorice. Advise patients taking warfarin to avoid taking licorice.
Cytochrome P450 1A2 (Cyp1A2) Substrates
Theoretically, licorice might decrease the levels and clinical effects of CYP1A2 substrates.
In vitro research shows that licorice induces CYP1A2 enzymes.
Methotrexate (Trexall, Others)
Theoretically, licorice might increase levels of methotrexate.
Animal research suggests that intravenous administration of glycyrrhizin, a licorice constituent, and high-dose methotrexate may delay methotrexate excretion and increase systemic exposure, leading to transient elevations in liver enzymes and total bilirubin. This interaction has not yet been reported in humans.
