Sanova Carbo Medicinalis tablets

Carbo medicinalis "Sanova" tablets contain high-quality medicinal activated charcoal, which is produced by special charring of plant materials. Due to its large surface, it has a high binding capacity. In particular, toxic substances, viruses, bacteria and their toxic products are bound.

field of use

Carbo medicinalis "Sanova" tablets are used for diarrhea, especially when traveling to countries with an increased risk of hygiene. Medicinal charcoal is excreted naturally along with the adsorbed pollutants.

If you do not feel better or if you feel worse after 3 days, contact your doctor.

Contraindications

Carbo medicinalis "Sanova" must not be taken,

• if you are allergic to medicinal charcoal or any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6).
• with severe constipation and suspected intestinal obstruction

interactions

The effect of other medicines can be reduced due to the high binding capacity of Carbo medicinalis "Sanova".
Carbo medicinalis "Sanova" should not be administered together with medicines to induce vomiting, nor is it recommended to take the tablets together with medicines against diarrhea containing tannins.
In the case of the oral antidiabetic chlorpropamide (medicine against diabetes) and cardioactive glycosides (medicine against heart failure), the absorption from the intestine is inhibited by medicinal charcoal by up to 90%, it is therefore advisable to take these medicines 2 hours before Carbo medicinalis "Sanova", or taken several hours at a time with Carbo medicinalis "Sanova". Other medications should be taken on an empty stomach at least one hour before Carbo medicinalis "Sanova".
The use of medicinal charcoal can reduce the reliability of oral contraceptives ("the pill"), which may require an additional method of contraception after using medicinal charcoal.
