I am interested in finding out about activated charcoal (ac), which
is used for GI distress, flatulence, and poisoning treatment. Can
anyone give me an idea as to where to purchase ac. Also, is ac a USP
item with defined standards? I would greatly appreciate anyone who
can help me in this matter. Thanks
Activated charcoal is available or can be ordered from any
drugstore. If used in a poisoning, it should be used under
the direction of a poison control center. You can get the
number of your servicing poison control center by dialing
information. They can be very helpful.
