Activated charcoal has well documented adsorptive properties and is effective in reducing the absorption of a wide range of toxicants, including drugs taken in overdose. From the gut, in addition, there is evidence that the administration of activated charcoal can enhance the elimination of some compounds by creating an effective concentration gradient from the circulation to the gut.
Activated charcoal is not systemically absorbed.
