NATURAL ACTIVATED Carbon Charcoal 250 mg х 250 tab ENTEROSORBENT PHARMSTANDART

General description enterosorbent agent.

Special conditions
In the treatment of intoxication, it is necessary to create an excess of activated carbon in the stomach (before washing it) and in the intestine (after washing the stomach). A decrease in the concentration of activated carbon in the medium promotes the desorption of the bound substance into the intestinal lumen and its absorption into the blood; to prevent resorption, repeated gastric lavage with activated carbon and the appointment of activated carbon inside are recommended. If the poisoning is caused by substances involved in enterohepatic circulation (cardiac glycosides, indomethacin, morphine, and other opiates), activated charcoal must be used for several days. When using drugs for more than 10-14 days, prophylactic prescription of vitamins and calcium preparations is necessary. It is recommended to store it in a dry place, away from substances that emit gases or vapors into the atmosphere. Storage in air (especially humid) reduces sorption capacity.

Drug interactions
Activated carbon reduces the effectiveness of drugs taken orally simultaneously with it.
