- allergic diseases: swallowed angioedema, bronchial asthma, atopic dermatitis, urticaria;

In the treatment may occur side effects: diarrhea, dyspepsia and constipation. If activated charcoal is taken over a long time – say reducing the intake of fat, proteins, hormones and vitamins. Allergic reactions occur very rarely.
The amount of activated charcoal in cases of poisoning and intoxications counting - at twenty or thirty grams in the form of an aqueous suspension: the right amount of powder for preparation of oral suspension is diluted in 100-150 ml of water (1 teaspoon contains 1 gram). In acute poisoning, gastric lavage is performed 10-20% suspension, and then move on ingestion by 20-30 grams per day (twenty grams contained in one hundred tablets).
