Summary
This study tests whether giving a combination of activated charcoal and polyethylene glycol (a laxative) can reduce the amount of poison absorbed in people who have taken a severe overdose of certain drugs and are in intensive care. The trial will include 200 adults who need a breathing tube. The goal is to see if this treatment lowers the poison level in the blood more than standard care with charcoal alone.
