Activated charcoal adsorbs many noxious substances—medical drugs, phytotoxins and poisonous chemicals—onto its surface, preventing their absorption from the gastrointestinal tract.

<h3>What is activated charcoal ?</h3>

Activated carbon, sometimes known as activated charcoal, is a type of carbon that is frequently used for a variety of purposes, including the filtration of impurities from water and air. It is treated to have tiny, low-volume holes, which expand the surface area open to chemical reactions or adsorption.

  • For some poisonings, activated charcoal is utilised as an emergency therapy. It aids in preventing the body from absorbing the toxin from the stomach. To treat severe poisoning, activated charcoal may occasionally be given in multiple doses.
