Everyone knows that aloe has healing properties. The gruel from the plant is used to draw pus from the wound and accelerate the healing process. Aloe has an antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effect. However, not everyone has an idea about a drug such as Aloe Iron Syrup. Let's consider it in detail.

Blood counts for hypochromic anemia are less than 0.8 picograms of hemoglobin, and the concentration of the substance in red blood cells is less than 330 picograms per liter.

Instruction manual
The syrup is taken orally, while the dosage is selected individually depending on the nature of the disease and the severity of the course. One intake involves a teaspoon of syrup diluted in 50 ml of water. The course lasts from two weeks to one month.
The active components are absorbed regardless of the meal, so you do not need to tie the use of "Aloe with Iron" to food. An increase in hemoglobin is manifested in clinical blood counts after two weeks of regular use. Do not interrupt treatment, since iron has the ability to accumulate and give a result. If you still missed the syrup, it is not recommended to double the dosage the next time. And, including in the daily diet foods that contain vitamin C, iron absorption will occur faster.
Alcohol compatibility
Do not combine aloe and iron syrup with alcohol. Ethanol is contained in alcohol, under the influence of which the properties of the active component of the syrup change. As a result, iron ions are poorly absorbed in the digestive system, which leads to a decrease in the effectiveness of the drug. In addition, intoxication occurs due to the accumulation of iron.
You can take syrup with aloe and iron in combination with any other drugs, however, the interval between them should be at least one hour. Against the background of prolonged use of the drug, a decrease in the concentration of potassium in the blood may be observed.
Syrup is also able to increase the effect of cardiac glycosides. When prescribing an agent with iron, it is necessary for the doctor to inform about all medications taken, which will avoid undesirable reactions from the body.

Taking the drug in high dosages can lead to a disturbance in overall health, as well as to an allergic reaction, nausea and vomiting, and digestive disorders. Some patients may also complain of dizziness, stomach pain, anxiety, and irritability.
