The components of the drug have an antimicrobial effect and also stimulate metabolism, which affects the rapid healing of damaged tissues.

The main active component of aloe in ampoules is aloe vera extract in liquid form. The solution also contains water for injection and sodium chloride.

The drug looks like a light yellow-brown liquid. The appearance of a suspension is acceptable, which precipitates during long-term storage.

The effect of the drug is due to the presence in the composition of the medicinal solution of such active substances as:

organic acids;

Indications

Why are aloe injections prescribed? Indications for the use of this drug are inflammatory processes, swelling, complications after infections and chronic diseases. The medication can also be used to accelerate metabolism, tissue and cell renewal. Doctors pay special attention to aloe extract due to its ability to increase the number of white blood cells. The production of these cells improves immunity. As a result, the body’s level of protection against pathogenic bacteria and microorganisms increases.

In neurology, aloe is often used in injections to strengthen the nervous system. Indications for the use of this drug also include cerebrovascular accidents. Aloe helps normalize brain activity. The components that make up the drug have a positive effect on the functions of the cardiovascular system. As a result, it is possible to improve the transport of oxygen in the body and increase the level of hemoglobin in the blood.

Biogenic stimulants, what are they?

In the thirties of the last century, Academician V.P. Filatov proposed calling “biogenic stimulants” a group of substances synthesized under certain conditions in certain tissues of plant and animal origin. Biostimulants promote rapid tissue restoration and have a general stimulating effect on the body.

These substances are synthesized only when tissues are exposed to unfavorable conditions (for example, if you tear off an aloe leaf and keep it in the dark) and are considered as an adaptation (adaptation) of the tissue to conditions unfavorable for the plant.

Biostimulants, which are used in medicine to treat various diseases, include some substances of animal (placenta suspension), plant (aloe extract) origin, as well as those obtained from peat (peat) and some mud (humisol, peloidin, FIbs).

When should it be used?

Indications for the use of this injection drug cover the following groups of diseases and problems:

ophthalmological (progressive myopia, crystalline opacities, optic nerve atrophy, keratitis, conjunctivitis);
gynecological (infertility, hormonal imbalance, ovarian cysts);
dermatological and cosmetological (various skin lesions, non-healing wounds, trophic ulcers, acne);
disturbances in the gastrointestinal tract (cholecystitis, gastritis, colitis, loss of appetite, gastroduodenitis, digestive imbalance);
male infertility (agagave increases sperm activity);
prostatitis and other urogenital diseases;
diseases of the lower respiratory tract (pneumonia, bronchitis, tuberculosis, bronchial asthma);
neurological diseases (neuralgia, neuritis);
scar tissue characteristic of the recovery period after a stroke (will resolve under the influence of the drug);
deteriorated sense of smell and hearing;
damaged tissue (abrasions, wounds, burns);
hypochromic anemia with decreased hemoglobin.

Indications for use

Let's look at this in more detail. In drug therapy, aloe injections are used to treat diseases of various systems and organs.

These include:

ophthalmological diseases (aloe is effective for myopia);
gynecological ailments (endometritis, adnexitis);
male infertility;
diseases of the digestive tract (peptic ulcer of the duodenum and stomach);
neurological abnormalities;
dermatological ailments (trophic ulcers);
disorders in the functioning of the respiratory tract (chronic bronchitis, pneumonia).

The drug is also prescribed in the postoperative period to restore the body. It promotes rapid resorption of scar tissue. Aloe extract is effective for loss of smell and hearing. However, it should only be used as prescribed by your doctor. The specialist must first examine the patient. Self-administration of the drug can be very dangerous.

It should also be taken into account that long-term use of aloe can lead to a decrease in potassium levels in the body. This helps to increase the level of exposure to antiarrhythmic drugs and cardiac glycosides. The risk of developing potassium deficiency may also develop when loop diuretics, corticosteroids and licorice-based drugs are used concomitantly with aloe liquid extract. Liquid preparations based on the component under discussion enhance the effect of laxatives, as well as drugs responsible for stimulating hematopoiesis.

general information

As a rule, ampoules of the product contain a dry oxidizable succulent extract obtained from dried raw materials or an aqueous extract isolated from leaves kept in the dark and cold. Saline solution and injection water are used as auxiliary components.

It is important! Solutions intended for injections are never prepared from plants grown indoors. In this case, the succulent juice will contain a number of harmful impurities. Extracts that are produced by the pharmaceutical industry undergo a set of mandatory purifications and only after that are packaged, put on sale and used for their intended purpose.

With intramuscular administration, a rapid therapeutic effect can be achieved in case of urgent need. Such injections are given once a day, the minimum volume is 1 ml. It is worth noting that intravenous administration of the drug is not effective. The positive effect does not depend on the speed of delivery of the active substances, but on the duration of their effect.
