Precautions
The routine use of single-dose activated charcoal for the management of poisoning is not recommended.
Administration is contraindicated in the presence of an unprotected airway, in patients with or at risk of gastrointestinal hemorrhage, perforation, or obstruction, or if administration would increase the risk of aspiration (i.e., hydrocarbon ingestion).
Caution is recommended in patients with poor gastrointestinal motility.
Should not be used in the management of acute corrosive or petroleum distillate ingestion since vomiting can occur following charcoal administration. Charcoal may also obscure the endoscopic evaluation of gastroesophageal lesions.
May be administered in an attempt to adsorb any ingested toxic agent (where physical or other contraindications are not present), but it is known to be much less effective in the adsorption of boric acid, cadmium, cyanide, DDT, ethanol, ethylene glycol, iron, lead, lithium, mercury, methanol, potassium chloride, selenium, strong acid or alkali (may obscure lesion on endoscopy), and organic solvents.
Minimum dilution: 240 mL water per 20 to 30 g charcoal.
Milk, chocolate syrup, ice cream, and sherbet should not be mixed with charcoal because they may reduce its efficacy.
Activated charcoal may adsorb therapeutic agents while it remains in the GI tract. Dosages or route of administration of therapeutic drugs may need to be altered.
Charcoal tablets and capsules are ineffective for the treatment of poisoning due to inferior adsorptive capacity.
Dialysis
No adjustment recommended
Other Comments
For gastrointestinal decontamination, time since ingestion is a critical criterion in the decision to use charcoal for decontamination purposes. Typically, the recommended cutoff point for administration of charcoal for gastrointestinal decontamination is 1 to 2 hours post- ingestion. However, in cases where the ingested agent has anticholinergic activity (e.g., tricyclic antidepressants) or can slow the rate of gastric emptying by another mechanism (e.g., pentazocine, meperidine) then use of charcoal beyond 2 hours may still be beneficial.
