• For the purpose of prevention of chronic intoxication in hazardous production.

Special instructions

When treating intoxications, it is necessary to create an excess of coal in the stomach (before washing it) and in the intestines (after washing the stomach). Reducing the concentration of coal in the medium promotes desorption of the bound substance and its absorption (to prevent resorption of the released substance, repeated gastric lavage and use of coal are recommended). The presence of food masses in the gastrointestinal tract requires use in high doses, since the contents of the gastrointestinal tract are sorbed by coal and its activity decreases. If the poisoning is caused by substances involved in the enterohepatic circulation (cardiac glycosides, Indometacin, morphine and other opiates), it is necessary to apply charcoal for several days. When using the drug for more than 10-14 days, preventive use of vitamins and calcium preparations is necessary. Patients with diabetes mellitus and people on a low-carbohydrate diet should take into account that one tablet of the drug contains about 0.07 g of carbohydrates (0.006 XE). It is recommended to store in a dry place, separate from substances that emit gases or vapors into the atmosphere. Storage in air (especially wet) reduces sorption capacity. Influence on the ability to drive vehicles, mechanisms The use of the drug does not affect the ability to perform potentially dangerous types of activities that require increased concentration of attention and speed of psychomotor reactions(driving vehicles, working with moving mechanisms, the work of a dispatcher and operator).
