| abstract |
A safe and effective system for removal of a range of common pharmaceutical compounds. The formulation comprises activated carbon, accompanied by a dissolution aid, such as a larger pebble-like material, in the presence of an acidified liquid medium. In one exemplary method, drugs are added to the formulation in a container, whereby chemicals contained within the drug are irreversibly adsorbed onto activated carbon, thereby rendering them inactive and sequestered from further use. |
