Activated Charcoal – Activated Carbon

KSh 700.00

It exhibits an enterosorbent (preventing toxic-allergic reactions, to reduce the metabolic load on the organs of excretion and detoxification), detoxifying, and antidiarrheal nature. Categorized within the group of polyvalent physicochemical antidotes, it boasts significant surface activity. This substance adeptly adsorbs a spectrum of poisons and toxins within the gastrointestinal tract before their absorption. This includes alkaloids, glycosides, barbiturates, hypnotics, narcotics, salts of heavy metals, bacterial, plant, and animal-origin toxins, phenol derivatives, hydrocyanic acids, sulfonamides, and gases.

Furthermore, activated charcoal efficiently absorbs an excess of specific metabolic products like bilirubin, urea, cholesterol, and endogenous metabolites contributing to endogenous toxicosis. While displaying a weaker adsorption capacity for acids and alkalis (including iron salts, cyanides, malathion, methanol, ethylene glycol), it proves particularly active as a sorbent during hemoperfusion. Importantly, it does not cause irritation to the mucous membrane of the gastrointestinal tract.
