How does the ingredient of the medicine work?

Medicated charcoal binds non-specific dissolved particles, such as toxins or bacteria. The effect is due to the fact that the medicinal charcoal forms a framework with many pores. This provides a large surface area that can "capture" small dissolved particles. The effect is particularly noticeable in the intestines, where the bound substances can be excreted together with the stool.
