  • Title: Evaluation of a charcoal-sorbitol mixture as an antidote for oral aspirin overdose.
    Author: Mayersohn M, Perrier D, Picchioni AL.
    Journal: Clin Toxicol; 1977 Dec; 11(5):561-7. PubMed ID: 608318.
    Abstract:
    The preparation of charcoal in a 70% sorbitol solution results in a suspension that is more palatable and less gritty than an aqueous slurry of charcoal. Although the charcoal-sorbitol mixture may be slightly less effective in reducing the extent of aspirin absorption compared with a charcoal slurry, it may prove to be of particular value in those cases where acceptance of a charcoal slurry presents a problem.
