Special instructions:

When treating intoxication, it is necessary to create an excess of activated carbon in the stomach (before it is washed) and in the intestine (after washing the stomach). Reducing the concentration of activated carbon in the medium promotes desorption of the bound substance into the intestinal lumen and its absorption into the blood; To prevent resorption, repeated washing of the stomach with activated carbon and the assignment of activated charcoal are recommended. If the poisoning is caused by substances involved in enterohepatic circulation (cardiac glycosides, indomethacin, morphine and other opiates), it is necessary to use activated carbon for several days. When using drugs for more than 10-14 days, preventive prescription of vitamins and calcium preparations is necessary.It is recommended to store in a dry place, separate from substances, allocating into the atmosphere gases or vapors.
