Activated charcoal can reduce the effectiveness of certain drugs, so medical professionals advise not taking it if you're on certain heart medications or antidepressants. When one Tumblr user got overzealous touting the effectiveness of natural remedies, some other folks jumped in to clarify the situation. This can happen, like this tumblr user who got schooled on physics and car safety or this person who got schooled on horses.

    Text - kaijuno Follow you're on antidepressants and you drink this you meet the devil AE CALM goldenjedi Follow Ok I just want to say activated charcoal is really good for you. Especially if you have an upset stomach. Take it, and it'll absorb all the toxins in your stomach and make you feel better. Natural remedies are good. They do work. And we shouldn't make fun of them.

    Text - phoenixonwheels Follow You know how they give activated charcoal to dogs and cats if they get into your meds or drink coolant or anything else toxic? That's because it binds with meds and carries them out of your system without them interacting with your body. If you're on meds and drink this bullshit you're not on your meds today, champ. You may as well have flushed them down the toilet. So kiss goodbye to your blood pressure meds/antidepressants/anything else you're on and if you're on

    Text - genderfluidfish Follow This is gonna be a very unpopular opinion but I don't care Activated charcoal is a medication, not a food additive, and should not be taken if you're not sick. It absorbs toxins, as well as other chemicals in your stomach. And by toxins I mean actual toxic stuff when you accidentally poison yourself. Not the mysterious "toxins" you get rid of when you "detox". "Detox" is bullshit. You detox by having a working liver. If you're alive and not currently dying of liver
