Contraindications:

Pregnancy is a contraindication to taking Acticarbine.

In the event of flatulence, a diet must be associated with the treatment such as the exclusion of pulses (lentils, flageolet beans, peas, etc.) and certain green vegetables (cabbage, Brussels sprouts, Swiss chard, etc.). In the event of associated diarrhoea, it is also recommended to drink abundant drinks, salty or sweet, in order to compensate for the losses of liquid due to the diarrhea (the average daily ration of water for an adult is 2 litres) and to exclude including raw vegetables, fruits, green vegetables, spicy dishes, as well as frozen foods or drinks and favoring grilled meats and rice.

Due to the presence of charcoal, Acticarbine can reduce the absorption of other drugs, which is why they are administered at a distance from this drug. Ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice if you are taking other medicines.

In case of pregnancy and breastfeeding, it is not recommended to use Acticarbine. However, during pregnancy or breastfeeding, always seek the advice of your doctor or pharmacist before using any medication.
Attention is drawn, particularly among vehicle drivers and machine users, to the risks of drowsiness due to the presence of papaverine.

Warnings:

Read the medication leaflet carefully before ordering it. Do not leave medicines within the reach of children. If symptoms persist, seek the advice of your doctor or pharmacist. Beware of incompatibilities on your current products.
