Heukgwaleup (Medicinal Carbon)

Adult dosage

The recommended dosage of medicinal carbon is 2 to 20 grams per day, divided into several doses. Medicinal carbon should be administered within 30 minutes of ingestion of the toxic substance in acute poisoning cases. (If the amount of the ingested toxic substance is known, the recommended dosage of medicinal carbon is usually 5-10 times the amount of the ingested toxic substance.) Adjustments should be made according to a doctor's instructions based on age and symptoms.

This medicine should not be used if there are injuries to the esophagus or if corrosive substances have been ingested. Diabetic patients should not use this medication without a doctor's diagnosis and prescription. Taking this medication may lead to indigestion symptoms. Additionally, prolonged use may interfere with the absorption of nutrients such as vitamins and minerals, leading to nutritional imbalance. When using this medication as an oral detoxification agent, it is preferable not to use an emetic syrup simultaneously with this medication. It is safer to first use an emetic syrup and then take this medication after vomiting has completely occurred. This medication should be administered following gastric lavage or gastric suction under medical supervision. It should also be noted that the efficacy of other medications may be diminished if taken within 2 hours after this medication. Taking this medication with ice cream or sorbet is not recommended as it may reduce the effectiveness of this medication. Taking this medication may cause stool to turn black, which is not a cause for concern.
