Doses of 10–30 mg act as a bitter stomachic; 60–200 mg as a laxative and 300–1000 mg as a purgative.[18,71] A dose of 1 teaspoon after meals, or otherwise advised by manufacturers and practitioners has been reported. To prevent kidney stones, a dose of 2 to 3 tablespoon daily is reported. As a laxative, the recommended dose is 500 to 1000 mg daily. For burns or wound healing, fresh gel from plant may be applied topically and liberally. For haemorrhoids, as a stool softener, 0.05 to 2 g of dry aloe extract is administered. In the treatment of HIV, 800 to 1600 mg of acemannan daily (equivalent to 0.5 to 1 L of Aloe vera juice) is administered. To relieve constipation, 20 to 30 mg hydroxyanthracene derivatives daily, calculated as anhydrous aloin is prescribed.
