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_ _ If a doctor has prescribed Carbomix for you, you should follow his/her instructions. Đọc toàn bộ tài liệu

Carbomix granules should be mixed with water and swallowed as a suspension under medical supervision only. The contents of the bottle are made up to the red band with water and shaken thoroughly. The suspension is then taken orally or given by intragastric tube using the universal applicator provided. Carbomix may be administered after emesis or gastric lavage and may be used concurrently with parenteral antidotes such as acetyl cystine. When ipecac syrup is used to induce emesis, it is recommended that Carbomix be administered only after vomiting has been induced and completed, since ipecac syrup is adsorbed by the charcoal thus preventing emesis. 4.3 CONTRAINDICATIONS Although Carbomix is not contraindicated in poisoning by strong acids and alkalis and other corrosive substances, its value as a detoxicant for these substances is limited.
