HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Activated Charcoal by Earthborn Elements
Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.
What’s inside
Full disclosure
Each capsule contains one active ingredient, activated charcoal. It works by adsorbing (binding to) substances in the gut, which is the basis for its use in poisoning.
The capsule also contains gelatin as an inactive ingredient.
Does it work?
Moderate evidence
The only effectiveness rating we hold for activated charcoal is Possibly Effective for poisoning. For hyperphosphatemia, wound healing, dyspepsia, hangover, and hypercholesterolemia, the rating is Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate, which means the evidence isn't established in the data we hold.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Activated charcoal is generally well tolerated when taken by mouth. The most common side effects are constipation, black stools, abdominal pain, bloating, and gas.
Constipation is usually temporary. Rarely, it can cause a blockage in the intestines (gastrointestinal obstruction) or be inhaled into the lungs (pulmonary aspiration).
For pregnancy and breastfeeding, our data rates activated charcoal as Possibly Safe. Its safety notes say it is not well studied for routine use in pregnancy and should be used only under medical guidance.
Talk with your own doctor or pharmacist before using it while pregnant or breastfeeding.
Meds to double-check
Major interaction found
Double-check oral drugs first, since the interaction is rated Major. Activated charcoal can reduce how well they are absorbed.
Oral contraceptives and alcohol are both rated Moderate. Activated charcoal may make contraceptives less effective, and alcohol may reduce how well the charcoal binds.
Ask your own doctor or pharmacist to review your exact medications before you start.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with some supporting evidence behind its ingredients' uses. Major medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.
Activated charcoal may suit someone looking for information on its use in poisoning, since that is the one purpose rated Possibly Effective. If you take oral medications, use oral contraceptives, or drink alcohol, be careful and talk it over with your own doctor or pharmacist first.
Anyone who is pregnant or breastfeeding should also get personal advice before taking it.

Activated Charcoal by Earthborn Elements Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
Earthborn Elements Activated Charcoal interacts with several kinds of medications, through its single active ingredient, activated charcoal.
The most serious interaction is with oral drugs, rated Major. Activated charcoal binds to many drugs in the gut, which can reduce how much of a medication your body absorbs and how long it stays active.
Examples in our data include acetaminophen, aminophylline, amiodarone, and atenolol. Altogether, these interactions span 2,028 individual medications.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
The other two drug types are rated Moderate. Activated charcoal may reduce the effects of oral contraceptives, which can limit their effectiveness and raise the risk of contraceptive failure.
Alcohol may also lower charcoal's binding ability.
Every ingredient in this product has documented interactions, so there is no interaction-free ingredient to report. To check your exact medications, use the search tool on this page.

Charcoal, Activated
Oral Drugs
Activated charcoal reduces systemic exposure to many drugs, including those that undergo enterohepatic recirculation, regardless of the route of administration.
Activated charcoal adsorbs various drugs and may reduce their absorption and/or half-life. Examples of affected drugs include acetaminophen, aminophylline, amiodarone, atenolol, carbamazepine, dapsone, digoxin, disopyramide, fluoxetine, indomethacin, moxifloxacin, nadolol, phenytoin, phenobarbital, piroxicam, quinine, sotalol, theophylline, tricyclic antidepressants, valproate, and verapamil. Avoid co-administration, except after drug overdose.
Alcohol (Ethanol)
The binding action of activated charcoal may be reduced by alcohol.
Alcohol may lower the adsorptive capacity of activated charcoal.
Contraceptive Drugs
Activated charcoal may reduce the clinical effects of oral contraceptives.
Activated charcoal, taken in a dose of 5 grams four times daily for 3 days, may bind to, and reduce the absorption of, oral contraceptives, thereby limiting their effectiveness and increasing the risk of contraceptive failure. However, some clinical research shows that the risk for this interaction is minimal when activated charcoal is taken either 3 hours after or at least 12 hours before oral contraceptives.
