The ability of 'Medicoal', a new effervescent, activated charcoal preparation, to adsorb nortriptyline, has been investigated both in vitro and in vivo. A single dose of the effervescent charcoal 30 min after a dose of 75 mg nortriptyline produced a 60% mean reduction in both peak plasma levels and nortriptyline availability in healthy volunteers. Multiple doses of the effervescent charcoal produced 70% mean reduction in peak nortriptyline levels and availabiltiy. Activated charcoal is recommended for the treatment of tricyclic antidepressant poisoning. In in-vitro tests, a 10 g packet of the effervescent preparation containing 5 g activated charcoal) had an adsorptive capacity of approximately 3000 mg nortriptyline, a dose not usually exceeded in most cases of trycyclic antidepressant overdose.
