Further information
1. WHAT CARBOMIX IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
The active ingredient of Carbomix is activated charcoal in the form of
very fine
granules.
Carbomix is used as an emergency treatment for acute oral poisoning or
drug
overdose. It works by absorbing the drugs or toxic substances so
reducing their
absorption into the blood or helping to eliminate them from the body.
Carbomix itself
is not absorbed into the blood and passes through the gut unchanged.
Carbomix is usually taken under medical supervision.
For single use only.
2. BEFORE YOU TAKE CARBOMIX_ _
You should not take Carbomix if you have taken a medicine to make you
sick or an
oral antidote such as methionine as they will be absorbed by Carbomix.
Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking any other medication.
Carbomix is of limited use in treating poisoning by the following:

corrosive substances (such as acids or alkalis)

cyanide, iron salts

some solvents such as methanol, ethanol (the alcohol in alcoholic
drinks) and
ethylene glycol
The presence of Carbomix may make any immediate endoscopy that may be
required, difficult.
Carbomix may stain if spilt.
PREGNANCY AND BREAST-FEEDING
Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are pregnant or breast-feeding.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT AN INGREDIENT OF THIS MEDICINE
Carbomix contains glycerol which may cause headache, stomach upset and
diarrhoea.
3. HOW TO TAKE CARBOMIX_ _
