Oral administration of 30 Gm. of activated charcoal to adult male volunteers 30 minutes after they had received 50 grains of aspirin resulted in a serum salicylate concentration 50 per cent of that of a control group. Vomiting induced by apomorphine also resulted in a similar difference. The use of both charcoal and induced emesis simultaneously caused a greater reduction in serum salicylate concentration than either measure alone.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
