โฆ Synopsis
In vitro experiments supported in vivo evidence that activated charcoal is effective in adsorbing acetaminophen. In the physiologic pH range, adsorption was rapid and pH independent. Adsorption, however, was dependent upon the quantity of activated charcoal employed, becoming more complete as the quantity of activated charcoal was increased.

difference centers around the increased prominence and number of hair follicles. Probably diffusion across the transfollicular shunt is greatly enhanced, to the point where it becomes the principal pathway. The horny layer of the epidermis is also affected by the formation of a thick coat of hair. S
The in vitro adsorption of the alkaloid emetine, a primary constituent of ipecac, on activated charcoal was studied. The results support the supposition that syrup of ipecac should not be given to counteract poisonings if activated charcoal is also to be administered.
