The dosing regimen for MDAC typically involves an initial large dose of activated charcoal, followed by smaller repeated doses. A common regimen might be:
Initial dose: 50-100 grams of activated charcoal Subsequent doses: 25-50 grams every 4-6 hours
The duration of MDAC therapy is often determined by the clinical course and the specific toxin involved but generally continues until the risk of ongoing absorption is minimized.
