Binding is reversible so a cathartic such as sorbitol may be added as well. It interrupts the enterohepatic circulation of some drugs/toxins and their metabolites Allows certain drugs/toxins to be drawn out of the blood and bind to the charcoal in the intestine - a kind of "gut dialysis" you should be able to get that at a local drug store, it's my chemistry teacher who recommended me that, try it and let me know |
Nice Chemistry class but in reality activated charcoal is rarely actually used in hospitals for anything because there is minimal actual benefit and there are potential side effects.
Stick with drinking water and eating bananas (or any kind of fruit you can keep down), this is good advice.
