Pharmachem Activated Charcoal 500g
Pharmachem Activated Charcoal, also known as Activated Carbon, is a fine black powder commonly used to help manage toxin ingestion in animals. It is odourless, tasteless, non-toxic, and administered orally under veterinary guidance.
Activated Charcoal works by binding to certain toxins, drugs, and chemicals in the gastrointestinal tract, helping to reduce their absorption into the bloodstream. This can significantly reduce the severity of clinical signs following accidental ingestion of harmful substances.
How Activated Charcoal Works
Once administered, activated charcoal absorbs toxins throughout the entire length of the stomach and intestines. It is commonly given after gastric lavage (stomach pumping) and may reduce absorption of some poisonous substances by up to 60%.
