Frequently asked questions

Charcoal is used to alleviate abdominal pain caused by excess gas, diarrhea, or indigestion.
It is recommended to avoid taking charcoal with antacids or other medications, as charcoal may reduce their effectiveness. Maintain a gap of at least 2 hours between taking these medications.
The best time to take charcoal is at the first sign of abdominal pain or discomfort. Swallow it with a glass of water and avoid lying down immediately afterward.
To relieve diarrhea, consume foods rich in soluble fiber, such as ripe bananas, oranges, boiled potatoes, white rice, curd, and oatmeal, as they help absorb excess fluid. Stay hydrated by drinking 8-10 glasses of water daily and consider having soups and juices.
A coating on your tongue that alters your taste is a common side effect of charcoal. Rinse your mouth with a salt and bicarbonate of soda solution before meals to neutralize the chalky taste, and consider adding extra flavors or seasonings to your food.
Before using charcoal, inform your doctor if you have any allergies to medications, liver or kidney disease, or any serious illnesses.
