Product Overview
The Carbodote® Range provides palatable, ready-to-use activated charcoal formulations designed to assist veterinary management following poison ingestion.
Available in pre-filled syringes and liquid suspension, Carbodote® is an adsorbent formulation which helps bind toxins within the gastrointestinal tract while offering practical administration in emergency and after-hours settings.
With step-based options for initial and repeat dosing, the Carbodote® Range supports structured toxicology protocols in small animal practice.

- Ready-to-use gels and liquid homogeneous formulations where no mixing is required, giving confidence in administering the correct amount of activated charcoal.
- Designed for rapid response in intoxication cases
- Broad adsorption capacity
- Practical formats to reduce time, mess, and stress
Directions for use
Carbodote® Prime (Step 1)
78 g dial-and-dispense syringe
- Initial activated charcoal administration
- Contains sodium sulphate* to assist intestinal transit and toxin elimination

* Not suitable for small exotic animals.
Carbodote® Repeat (Step 2)
72 g syringe

- Suitable for repeat dosing in cases of enterohepatic recirculation
- Typically administered every 4–6 hours for 24–48 hours*
- May be continued at home under veterinary direction

When the use of sodium sulphate is inappropriate, Carbodote Repeat may be used instead of Prime.
Carbodote® Liquid
100 mL suspension
- Activated charcoal without cathartic

- Recommended dosing: 5 mL/kg
- May be used as a substitute for Prime or Repeat as clinically indicated**
**Follow veterinary instructions as necessary.
Shake well before use.
Clinical Considerations
Activated charcoal works by adsorbing a wide range of substances within the gastrointestinal tract, helping limit systemic absorption.
Carbodote® Prime supports rapid initial intervention with cathartic-assisted transit.
Carbodote® Repeat allows continued charcoal coverage without additional cathartic exposure.
Carbodote® Liquid provides flexible administration in species or cases where gel format is less suitable.
Clinical decision-making should consider:
- Type of toxin
- Time since ingestion
- Species
- Risk of enterohepatic recirculation
- Suitability of cathartic use
