The cathartic and laxative action of the Aloe Ferox in the Prosit capsules is well established. Its primary effect is caused by its influence on the motility of the colon. This results in an accelerated intestinal passage and a reduction in liquid absorption increasing water content in the feces (Blumenthal 1998).

In addition to the purgative effect the anthraquinone (bitter) substances stimulate the flow of gastric juices thus improving digestion. Soeda (1964) found that fractions from A. ferox gave a prophylactic effect. While in a subsequent study, Soeda (1966) found the aloe juice to have inhibitory action against some bacteria and fungi, particularly Pseudomonas aeroginosa and Proteus vulgaris.
