In the database of official manuals used in the service creation an interaction registered by statistical results of studies was found, which can either lead to negative consequences for the patient health or strengthen a mutual positive effect. A doctor should be consulted to address the issue of joint drug administration.

Consumer:

Talk to your doctor before using charcoal together with minocycline. Products containing charcoal can interfere with the absorption of many medications and make them less effective. It is important to tell your doctor about all other medications you use, including vitamins and herbs. Do not stop using any medications without first talking to your doctor.

Professional:

GENERALLY AVOID: Charcoal may reduce the absorption of many drugs and can absorb enterohepatically circulated drugs. Clinical utility may be the reduction either of the effects or of the toxicity of many drugs. Activated charcoal may adsorb any therapeutic agents administered while it is in the gastrointestinal tract.

MANAGEMENT: The regular ingestion of charcoal should be avoided by patients requiring maintenance medications. If concomitant use is necessary, the dosage or route of administration may need to be altered.
