HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Bilberry Eyebright Complex by Puritan's Pride
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
This product contains one active ingredient: aloe vera gel concentrate. Aloe is a plant extract that's been used traditionally for skin, digestive, and metabolic support.
The capsule itself is made with inactive ingredients — gelatin, soybean oil, vegetable glycerin, cottonseed oil, and white beeswax — to deliver the aloe inside.
Does it work?
Moderate evidence
The evidence for aloe vera gel concentrate is mixed. Research suggests it may be possibly effective for acne, psoriasis, burns, and constipation, and possibly effective for supporting blood sugar and weight management in diabetes and obesity contexts.
That said, these ratings reflect preliminary or limited clinical data — the evidence isn't conclusive for any of these uses, so talk with your pharmacist or doctor about whether this product fits your specific goals.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Topical aloe gel is generally well tolerated, but oral aloe — and especially aloe latex — carries real risks. The most common side effects from oral use are abdominal pain, cramps, and diarrhea.
Long-term use or high doses can lead to serious problems: severe potassium loss, muscle weakness, irregular heartbeat, and other electrolyte imbalances. A documented case involved a patient taking a liter of aloe daily who developed severe low potassium requiring medical attention.
The safety data advises against taking aloe by mouth during pregnancy because the latex can stimulate the uterus and act as a strong laxative. Avoid it while breastfeeding too — there isn't enough safety data, and the laxative effects are a concern.
If you're pregnant, breastfeeding, or planning to be, talk with your pharmacist or doctor before using this product.
Meds to double-check
Major interaction found
Before you start, check your medications against these types: heart drugs like digoxin (Major concern), then blood thinners and antiplatelet drugs, diabetes medications, water pills (diuretics), warfarin, stimulant laxatives, and any drugs processed by the liver enzyme CYP1A2. The medication checker below will search your prescriptions for you.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with some supporting evidence behind its ingredients' uses. Major medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.
This product is worth a careful review if you're interested in aloe for skin or digestive support — but only after checking it against your current medications. If you take a heart medication like digoxin, a blood thinner, diabetes medicine, a water pill, or warfarin, you need to talk with your pharmacist first.
Don't take it if you're pregnant or breastfeeding.

Bilberry Eyebright Complex by Puritan's Pride Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
Puritan's Pride Bilberry Eyebright Complex contains aloe vera gel concentrate, which does interact with several medication types.
The most serious concern is digoxin (Lanoxin), a heart medication — overuse of aloe can deplete potassium and raise the risk of digoxin toxicity, which is a Major interaction.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
Moderate interactions are documented with blood thinners (anticoagulants) and antiplatelet drugs like aspirin, where aloe may increase bleeding risk. Aloe can also lower blood sugar (glucose) and may add to the effect of diabetes medications, raising the risk of low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) — you'll need to monitor your levels closely if you take both.
Water pills (diuretics) pose a potassium-loss concern when combined with aloe, as does warfarin (Coumadin), where aloe's laxative effect may increase bleeding risk. Taking aloe with stimulant laxatives may compound fluid and electrolyte loss.
Aloe also has a Minor interaction with certain drugs processed by the liver enzyme CYP1A2, potentially lowering their levels. Altogether, these interactions span 460 individual medications.

For each ingredient in Bilberry Eyebright Complex 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 vera gel concentrate
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
