A successor to Cooney's Activated Charcoal: Antidotal and Other Medical Uses (Dekker, 1980), this volume incorporates nearly all significant studies on the use of activated charcoal for antidotal purposes that have appeared between about 1979 and early 1994. It also includes a wide variety of medical uses of activated charcoal other than as an antidote for drug overdoses and poisonings, e.g., the use of activated charcoal for treating pruritus, neonatal jaundice, porphyria, hyperlipidemia, and wounds. A wide range of studies involving activated charcoal as an adsorbent for viruses, bacteria, vitamins, hormones, endogenous and exogenous toxins, etc., are also reviewed. Annotation c.
