Activated Charcoal - UBF Tablets 250mg: Effective Relief for Digestive Issues and Poisoning
Description:
Activated Charcoal - UBF Tablets 250mg is a highly effective over-the-counter medication for a wide range of digestive issues and poisoning. Each tablet contains 250mg of activated charcoal, a natural substance that works by adsorbing toxins and harmful substances in the digestive tract, promoting their elimination from the body.
Uses:
- Constipation and Diarrhea: Activated charcoal helps to regulate bowel movements and provide relief from both constipation and diarrhea.
- Dyspepsia (Indigestion): It effectively reduces symptoms of indigestion, including bloating, gas, and stomach pain.
- Poisoning: Activated charcoal is a crucial first-aid treatment for various types of poisoning, as it binds to toxins and prevents their absorption into the bloodstream.
- Other Applications: Activated charcoal is also used for treating flatulence and reducing the risk of hypovitaminosis and malabsorption during prolonged use.
Dosage:
The dosage of Activated Charcoal - UBF Tablets varies depending on the condition being treated and the patient's age. It's crucial to follow the instructions provided by your doctor or pharmacist.
- Adults: The usual dosage is 3-6 tablets 3-4 times a day. The maximum single dose is 8g.
- Children: The usual dosage is 2-4 tablets 3-4 times a day. In case of diarrhea, the dose may be increased to 4-5 tablets 3-4 times a day. For poisoning, children from 3 to 7 years old are prescribed 5g 3 times a day, while children from 7 to 14 years old are prescribed 7g 3 times a day.
- Poisoning: In acute poisoning, gastric lavage with a suspension of activated charcoal is recommended, followed by oral administration of 20-30g as an aqueous suspension.
Precautions:
- Concomitant Medications: Due to its adsorbing properties, activated charcoal should be taken 1-1.5 hours before or after other medications to avoid interfering with their absorption.
- Food: Food masses in the digestive tract may reduce the effectiveness of activated charcoal. Therefore, it's essential to take it on an empty stomach or at least one hour before meals.
- Poisoning: In case of poisoning with acids or alkalis, activated charcoal should not be administered.
- Elderly and Children: Activated charcoal should be given along with an electrolyte solution with glucose for elderly and children.
- Pregnancy and Lactation: While there are no documented negative effects on pregnant or lactating mothers, it's best to consult with your doctor before using activated charcoal.
