This study aims to determine the efficacy of Aloe vera gel against the deficiency in all of the white blood cells (leukopenia) and platelets (thrombocytopenia) that are induced by the effections of drugs(Methotrexate and Azathioprine) and provide the protection and treatment from this deficiency, if drugs are taken alone or in combination in cases that require it, where the results showed significantly reduced in platelets and white blood cell counts, compared with the control group, would be significantly raised by the treatment with the gel of Aloe vera orally.
