Introduction
Under normal circumstances, aloe capsules can be discontinued after 3 to 7 days of use. Medication should always be taken as directed by a physician. During this period, patients should closely monitor their physical condition and seek medical attention promptly if any discomfort occurs. Even after symptoms have improved, patients should gradually reduce the dosage or discontinue the medication under a doctor's guidance to prevent recurrence of the condition.

Under normal circumstances, aloe capsules can be discontinued after 3 to 7 days of use. Medication should always be taken as directed by a healthcare provider. Specific analysis is as follows:

When taking aloe capsules, the duration of treatment and timing of discontinuation usually depend on the patient's specific condition and physical constitution. If the patient's condition is relatively mild—such as occasional constipation or minor gastrointestinal discomfort—and their constitution is good with fast metabolism—they may experience noticeable improvement within a short period after starting aloe capsules.

In such cases, patients may discontinue the medication after 3 days of use, provided this is done under medical guidance. However, even if symptoms improve, patients are advised to remain observant to ensure that symptoms do not recur.

For patients with more severe conditions—such as chronic constipation or intestinal dysfunction—or those with weaker constitutions and slower metabolism—a longer treatment period may be necessary. In these cases, patients may take aloe capsules for up to 7 days under a doctor’s supervision to achieve optimal therapeutic effects.

During this period, patients should closely monitor their physical condition and seek medical attention promptly if any adverse effects occur. After symptom relief, patients should still gradually reduce the dosage or discontinue the medication under medical supervision to prevent recurrence of the condition.
