Interactions for Aloe

Possible Interactions with Aloe

Overview

Chronic internal use of aloe could cause potassium deficiency. Low potassium levels can interfere with certain heart medications, like digoxin or other antiarrhythmic medications used to correct irregular heartbeat. The potential for potassium deficiency is greater if you use aloe with licorice, corticosteroid medications, and most diuretics (except potassium-sparing diuretics that do not deplete potassium levels). It is best to avoid taking aloe with any of these medications.
