Interactions & contraindications

Aloe (Gabanin)

Full profile

Pregnancy

Avoid

Topical gel use is generally fine, but oral aloe latex (the yellow sap layer, a strong stimulant laxative) is contraindicated in pregnancy — it has been linked to uterine contractions and should be avoided; purified inner-leaf gel taken orally is used more cautiously.

Breastfeeding

Avoid

Oral aloe latex is a strong stimulant laxative that can pass into milk and cause infant diarrhea/cramping — avoided while nursing; topical gel is fine.

Children

Use Caution

Topical gel is widely used and fine for minor skin irritation/burns; oral aloe (especially the latex/sap form) is not given to young children due to its strong laxative effect.

Diuretics, digoxin

Oral aloe (especially the latex) has a laxative/diuretic effect that can worsen potassium loss.

Diabetes medications

May enhance blood-sugar-lowering effects.
