Description
Activated carbon is highly absorptive for many toxicants, including mercuric chloride, alkaloids including strychnine, barbiturates, etc. Although it does not detoxify them, activated charcoal will effectively prevent absorption of toxicants if properly used. It can be effectively combined with emetic and gastric lavage techniques.
