Evidence Summary

Activated charcoal is a highly porous form of carbon that binds to many substances in the gut, preventing their absorption into the bloodstream. In emergency medicine, it is a well-established tool for treating certain drug overdoses and poisonings — clinical toxicology guidelines support its use for dozens of specific toxins when given promptly after ingestion. In a clinical trial for gout, daily activated charcoal combined with a urate-lowering drug reduced gout flare frequency and improved LDL cholesterol levels, though it did not lower uric acid better than the drug alone.
