別名: Toxiban, D-Tox-Besc, UAA Gel, CharcoAid, Actidose, Actidose-Aqua, Charcodote, Liqui-Char
> **IMPORTANT**: This agent should generally be used under professional veterinary supervision. * If used on an outpatient basis, patients must be observed for at least 4 hours after administration for signs associated with high blood sodium (weakness, unsteadiness, tremors, convulsions). If these occur, seek immediate veterinary care. * Expect your pet's stool to be black for a few days. * **Warning**: Charcoal powder is extremely messy and can easily and permanently stain fabrics, carpets, and clothing.
劑量必須由獸醫按你寵物的個別情況決定。切勿在沒有獸醫指導下給予人類藥物或其他寵物的處方藥。

可能的副作用
- Emesis (especially with rapid administration)
- Aspiration pneumonia (if aspirated)
- Constipation or diarrhea
- Black feces
- Hypernatremia (especially in small dogs and cats)
- Loose stools and vomiting (associated with sorbitol-containing products)
注意事項與禁忌
- Ingestion of mineral acids or caustic alkalis (ineffective and may obscure endoscopic evaluation)
- Patients lacking a gag reflex or actively vomiting (unless airway is protected via intubation)
- GI obstruction or perforation
- > **WARNING**: Extreme caution must be used to prevent aspiration, which can lead to severe, potentially fatal aspiration pneumonia. In symptomatic animals, administer via an orogastric tube with a cuffed endotracheal tube in place. * **Hypernatremia Risk**: Small dogs and cats are at risk for hypernatremia due to osmotic fluid shifts into the GI tract. Monitor closely. * **Cathartic Use**: To prevent severe diarrhea and dehydration, if multiple doses of activated charcoal are administered, only the *first* dose should contain an osmotic cathartic (e.g., sorbitol). * **Mess Hazard**: Charcoal powder stains fabrics easily and dry powder tends to float and cover wide areas.
藥物相互作用
- Other orally administered therapeutic agents: Charcoal will adsorb other drugs; separate administration by at least 3 hours.
- Dairy products: May reduce the adsorptive capacity of activated charcoal.
- Mineral oil: May reduce the adsorptive capacity of activated charcoal.
- Polyethylene glycol / Electrolyte solutions (e.g., Go-Lytely): May reduce the adsorptive capacity of activated charcoal.
- All orally administered drugs: Reduces the absorption and therefore efficacy of orally administered drugs
