Enterosorbiruyuschee means . Increasing the porosity of the coal resulting in a special treatment significantly increases the absorption capacity of coal. The drug has antidiarrhoeal, detoxification, enterosorbiruyuschee impact. Activated carbon refers to the group polyvalent antidotes Has a high surface activity, absorbs toxins and poisons from the digestive tract before absorption. The drug adsorbs opiates, barbiturates, glycosides, alkaloids, heavy metal salts. The drug effectively absorbs animal, vegetable, Bacterial toxins Gases, sulfonamide derivatives of hydrocyanic acid, phenol. With hemoperfusion   active charcoal as an adsorbent, does not irritate the mucous membranes. The drug adsorbs weakly alkaline or acidic. In the treatment of poisoning lavage recommended to create an excess of carbon in the stomach, and after rinsing - in the intestine. Reducing the amount of carbon in the environment forms desorption   substances and promotes its absorption. In order to prevent resorption of the released substances must be repeated gastric lavage, followed by the appointment of coal. In the presence of food in the gastrointestinal tract mass recommended increasing the amount of administered activated charcoal, since the contents of the stomach and intestine is adsorbed charcoal, reducing its activity. If poisoning opiates, morphine, indomethacin, cardiac glycosides   activated carbon must be taken within a few days after intoxication. In acute poisoning theophylline glyutatimidom, barbiturates   Activated carbon is particularly effective as enterosorbent. It is produced in the form of tablets, powder, granules, capsules, pastes.

Indications:

Activated carbon is prescribed for endogenous and exogenous poisoning: dyspepsia , Diarrhea, hypersecretion of gastric juice, fermentation, putrefaction, flatulence , Hypersecretion of mucus. The drug is effective for poisoning with salts of heavy metals, glycosides, Foodborne diseases , Salmonellosis, dysentery . viral hepatitis . atopic dermatitis . cirrhosis . gastritis . asthma . holetsistopankreatit , Enterocolitis, chronic cholecystitis , Alcohol withdrawal syndrome, allergies.

Contraindications:

Activated carbon is not indicated for bleeding, ulcerative lesions of the gastrointestinal tract, intolerance, simultaneous administration of antitoxic drugs, whose effectiveness has been observed after absorption (eg, methionine).

Side effect:

Violations of the chair, dyspepsia. Long-term use can have a negative effect on the absorption of hormones, proteins, fats, vitamins in the digestive tract. When hemoperfusion through a drug developed hypothermia, hypocalcemia , Hypoglycemia, haemorrhages, thromboembolism , Drop in blood pressure.

Mode of application:

Activated carbon is taken as a tablet or an aqueous suspension for 2 hours before or after meals. Average dose - 100-200 mg / kg per day, calculated for 3 doses. The course of therapy to 2 weeks. If necessary, repeat the treatment after two weeks. When poisoning taking 30 grams of the drug in the form of an aqueous slurry. In acute poisoning, first washed with a 20% suspension of the stomach, and then take the coal inside. Flatulence, dyspepsia take three times a day for 1-2 grams. The course of treatment - up to 7 days. Activated carbon is taken during pregnancy in standard dosages. Activated carbon is used for weight loss according to the scheme: 1 tablet per 10 kg body weight, the reception in the morning before eating.

Special instructions:

Activated charcoal may give stool darker shade. The drug should be stored away from substances that emit vapors and gases into the environment, protect from moisture. When stored in moist air is reduced sorption capacity of the drug. Losing weight with the help of activated carbon is due to the removal of toxins from the body.

Drug Interactions:

Activated charcoal while taking other drugs reduces their effectiveness.
