Activated carbon - instructions for use, dose, side effects, contraindications

It has enterosorbent, detoxifying and anti-diarrhea action. It belongs to the group of polyvalent physicochemical antidotes, has a large surface activity, adsorbs poisons and toxins from the gastrointestinal tract to their absorption, alkaloids, glycosides, barbiturates, etc. hypnotics, general anesthetic drugs, salts of heavy metals, toxins of bacterial, vegetable, animal origin, derivatives of phenol, hydrocyanic acid, sulfonamides, gases. It is active as a sorbent in hemoperfusion. It weakly adsorbs acids and alkalis (including iron salts, cyanides, malathion, methanol, ethylene glycol). Does not irritate the mucous membrane of the gastrointestinal tract. Special treatment (increase in porosity) significantly increases the adsorbing surface of the coal.

Indications:

As an enterosorbent in complex therapy, the drug is indicated for: dyspepsia,flatulence, rotting, fermentation, hypersecretion of mucus, hydrochloric acid, gastric juice, diarrhea; poisoning with alkaloids, glycosides, heavy metal salts, food intoxication; food toxicoinfection, dysentery, salmonellosis, burn disease in the stage of toxemia and septicotoxemia; renal failure, chronic hepatitis, acute viral hepatitis, liver cirrhosis, atopic dermatitis, bronchial asthma, gastritis, chronic cholecystitis, enterocolitis, cholecystopancreatitis; poisoning by chemical compounds and medicines (including organophosphorus and chlororganic compounds, psychoactive drugs), allergic diseases, metabolic disorders, withdrawal syndrome; intoxication in cancer patients on the background of radiation and chemotherapy; preparation for radiographic and endoscopic studies (to reduce the gas content in the intestine).

Contraindications:

Hypersensitivity, ulcerative lesions of the gastrointestinal tract (including stomach ulcer and duodenal ulcer, ulcerative colitis), bleeding from the gastrointestinal tract,simultaneous administration of antitoxic medicinal products, the effect of which develops after absorption (including methionine). Children under 3 years.

Pregnancy and lactation:

Studies on the safety and effectiveness of the use of activated carbon in pregnant and lactating mothers have not been conducted. The drug can be used only if the significance of the effect for the mother exceeds the risk of side effects of the fetus and the child.

Dosing and Administration:

Inside, for 1-2 hours came after eating and taking other medicines. The average dose is 0.1-0.2 g / kg / day (in 3 divided doses). Duration of treatment is 3-14 days, if necessary, a second course is possible after 2 weeks.

With dyspepsia, flatulence - 1-2, g 3-4 times a day. The course of treatment is 3-7 days.

The course of treatment for diseases accompanied by fermentation and rotting in the intestine, increased secretion, gastric juice, lasts 1-2 weeks. Adults - 10 g three times a day; children from 3 to 7 years - 5 g 3 times a day, 7-14 years - 7 g 3 times a day for admission. The duration of the course is 3-15 days.

Side effects:

Dyspepsia, constipation or diarrhea; with long-term use - hypovitaminosis, a decrease in absorption from the gastrointestinal tract of nutrients (fats, proteins), hormones.

Interaction:

Reduces the effectiveness of concomitantly taken drugs, reduces the effectiveness of drugs that act on the mucosa of the gastrointestinal tract (including ipecacans and thermopsis).

Special instructions:

When treating intoxication, it is necessary to create an excess of coal in the stomach (before washing it) and in the intestine (after washing the stomach). Reducing the concentration of coal in the medium promotes desorption of the bound substance and its absorption (to prevent the resorption of the released substance, it is recommended to rinse the stomach and the purpose of the coal). The presence of food masses in the gastrointestinal tract requires administration in high doses, because the contents of the gastrointestinal tract are sorbed by coal and its activity is reduced; If poisoning is caused by substances involved in enterohepatic circulation (cardiac glycosides, indomethacin, morphine and other opiates), it is necessary to use coal for several days.

Stains feces in a dark color.
It is recommended to store in a dry place, separate from substances emitting gases or vapors into the atmosphere. Storage in air (especially wet) reduces sorption capacity.

Effect on the ability to drive transp. cf. and fur:

Coal activated does not affect the ability to drive vehicles and mechanisms.
