HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Aloe Vera Gels by Douglas Cooper Co.

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

Full disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Full

Every active ingredient lists its own amount on the label.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 1 of its 1 active ingredient.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

This product has one active ingredient: aloe vera. The other ingredients — extra virgin olive oil, gelatin, water, glycerin, and silica — are inactive excipients that help form and stabilize the softgel capsule.

Does it work?

Moderate evidence
Evidence for Intended Use · database check
By FDA rules, dietary supplements can’t claim to treat, cure, or prevent disease — so labels speak in careful marketing language. We discern each product’s intended use from its name, label claims, and label statements, then grade the clinical evidence for that use. How these ratings are computed
Moderate

Some clinical evidence supports this product's ingredients for its stated purpose, but it isn't conclusive.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: support body's healing and healthy digestion.
  • We looked for evidence on: Burns, Wound healing, Constipation, Oral mucositis, Peptic ulcers, Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) — and 4 related terms.
  • The strongest evidence on file: Aloe is rated "Possibly Effective" for Burns (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Aloe is rated "Possibly Effective" for Constipation.
  • Also on file: Aloe is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), Ulcerative colitis, Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), Oral mucositis, and more.

Aloe vera shows possibly effective evidence for several uses in the data we hold: acne, obesity, diabetes, psoriasis, burns, and constipation. That means there's some clinical support, but the evidence isn't conclusive.

If you're considering it for one of these reasons, a conversation with your pharmacist or doctor about what the research actually shows for your situation is worth having.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Aloe

How safe is it?

Well-documented data
Safety Information · database check
Well characterized

Adverse-effect, pregnancy, and general safety data are on file for most of these ingredients.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 1 of the 1 matched ingredient.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 1 of 1.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 1 of 1.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Topical aloe gel is generally well tolerated. Oral aloe latex — the substance in this product — carries greater risk, especially at high doses or with long-term use.

The most common side effects from oral aloe are abdominal pain, cramps, and diarrhea. Long-term use can cause serious effects like potassium loss (hypokalemia), muscle weakness, and irregular heartbeat.

There's also a rare condition called pseudomelanosis coli (dark pigment spots in the intestines) that usually reverses when you stop taking aloe. During pregnancy, aloe may stimulate the uterus and act as a strong laxative — the safety data advises against it.

While breastfeeding, there isn't enough safety data, and the laxative effects are a concern, so it's best to avoid it or talk with your doctor or pharmacist.

Major interaction found
Known Interaction Concern · database check
Major identified

At least one ingredient has a documented Major-severity interaction. Check your medications for a personalized result.

Why this rating?
  • 1 of the 1 matched ingredient can interact with medications — Aloe.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Major.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs; diabetes medications; heart-rhythm medications.
  • For scale: 461 individual medications appear in the full list. A big number alone doesn't make a product dangerous — what matters is whether YOUR medication is on it, so run yours through the interaction checker on this page.

Check before you take this if you use digoxin or other heart medications (cardiac glycosides) — this is the most serious risk. Also double-check if you're on blood thinners (anticoagulants), antiplatelet drugs, diabetes medications, diuretics, stimulant laxatives, warfarin, or any drugs your liver breaks down under the CYP1A2 pathway.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with some supporting evidence for its stated purpose. Major medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

Aloe vera may help with acne, burns, constipation, and other conditions, but it interacts with heart, blood-thinning, diabetes, and diuretic medications — and many others. If you take any prescription drugs, especially for your heart, blood clotting, or blood sugar, check them against the interactions tool before you start.

For each ingredient in Aloe Vera Gels with known interactions, here are the types of medications it can affect. Open any type for the detail — or search your exact drug in the checker above.

Aloe Vera7 drug types · 461 drugs

Digoxin (Lanoxin)

Theoretically, aloe latex might increase the risk of adverse effects when taken with cardiac glycosides.
Overuse of aloe latex can increase the risk of adverse effects from cardiac glycoside drugs, such as digoxin, due to potassium depletion. Overuse of aloe, along with cardiac glycoside drugs, can increase the risk of toxicity.

Likelihood Probable Evidence D
Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs

Theoretically, aloe gel might increase the risk of bleeding when taken with anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs.
In vitro research shows that aloe gel can inhibit platelet aggregation. This inhibition was greater than that seen with celecoxib, but less than that seen with aspirin.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Antidiabetes Drugs

Aloe might increase the risk of hypoglycemia when taken with antidiabetes drugs.
Preliminary clinical research suggests aloe gel might lower blood glucose levels and have additive effects when used with antidiabetes drugs. Monitor blood glucose levels closely.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Diuretic Drugs

Theoretically, aloe latex might increase the risk of hypokalemia when taken with diuretic drugs.
Overuse of aloe latex might compound diuretic-induced potassium loss, increasing the risk of hypokalemia.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Stimulant Laxatives

Theoretically, aloe latex might increase the risk for fluid and electrolyte loss when taken with stimulant laxatives.
Due to cathartic laxative effects of aloe latex, concomitant use with other stimulant laxatives might compound fluid and electrolyte loss.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Warfarin (Coumadin)

Theoretically, aloe latex might increase the risk of bleeding when taken with warfarin.
Aloe latex has stimulant laxative effects. In some people aloe latex can cause diarrhea. Diarrhea can increase the effects of warfarin, increase international normalized ratio (INR), and increase the risk of bleeding. Advise patients who take warfarin not to take excessive amounts of aloe vera.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Cytochrome P450 1A2 (Cyp1A2) Substrates

Theoretically, aloe might decrease the levels and clinical effects of CYP1A2 substrates.
In vitro research shows that aloe extract induces CYP1A2 enzymes.

Aloe Vera Gels by Douglas Cooper Co.: Common Questions

Does Aloe Vera Gels by Douglas Cooper Co. interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Aloe Vera Gels has a known interaction with 461 medications, including 1 rated major. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Aloe Vera Gels contains a single active ingredient, and that one ingredient can interact with many different medications on its own. We check it against each medication and show the mechanism responsible.
Where does this information come from?
The product label data comes from the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD); the interaction data is built on the Natural Medicines database and reviewed by HelloPharmacist pharmacists.
Can I take this if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
No, not safely. The safety data advises against oral aloe during pregnancy because it may stimulate the uterus and act as a strong laxative. While breastfeeding, there isn't enough safety data, and the laxative effects are a concern. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist before considering it.
What are the side effects I should watch for?
The most common ones are belly pain, cramps, and diarrhea. Long-term use can cause more serious effects like low potassium (weakness, irregular heartbeat), dark pigment spots in your intestines (which usually go away when you stop), and weight loss. If you're using high doses or for a long time, side effects are more likely.
Does this actually work for constipation?
Aloe shows possibly effective evidence for constipation in the data we hold, so there's some research backing it. That said, the evidence isn't conclusive. Your pharmacist can help you weigh whether it's the right choice for your situation.
Can I use this long-term?
The data shows that long-term use or overuse of oral aloe carries greater risk of serious side effects, including potassium loss and heart rhythm problems. It's best to talk with your pharmacist about how long is safe for you.
What's the difference between aloe gel and aloe latex?
Aloe latex — the yellow substance under the plant's skin — is what's in oral products like this and carries the most serious risks. Topical aloe gel (the clear inside) is generally well tolerated on skin. This softgel is oral, so you're getting the latex, which is why caution matters.
What inactive ingredients are in this product?
The softgel contains extra virgin olive oil, gelatin, water, glycerin, and silica. These help form and stabilize the capsule but aren't active ingredients.
