Properties: One of the main components of the preparation is activated carbon (Carbo activatus). It adsorbs intestinal gases, bacterial toxins and other products of putrefactive decay of intestinal contents, causing intoxication, diarrhea and flatulence. Senna leaves (Foliae Sennae) and rhubarb extract (Extr. Rhei), which are part of the preparation, stimulate peristalsis and have a mild disinfecting effect. This is achieved due to the release in the small intestine of active derivatives of anthraquinone (a glycoside contained in rhubarb and senna leaves), which stimulate the peristalsis of the large intestine, and also inhibit the absorption of water in it. Defecation occurs 6-10 hours after taking the drug. Senna leaves and rhubarb extract cause little fluid loss and do not interfere with food absorption.

The preparation also contains essential oils of mint and fennel, which provide its antispasmodic and anti-inflammatory effects.

The EUCARBON preparation contains purified sulfur (Sulfur activatus), which has a small amount of disinfecting properties, which is important in the development of putrefactive processes caused by pathogenic bacteria.

Thus, due to its adsorption properties and the ability to stimulate the intestines, the preparation EUKARBON prevents the reabsorption of harmful by-products of and has a mild laxative effect.
