Actidose-AQ is an emergency medicine used to treat accidental poisonings and overdoses. When ingested, it acts like a super-sponge, absorbing toxins and drugs in the stomach and intestines before they can be absorbed by the body. While it can be a lifesaver, it's not without risks, and side effects can be life-threatening. I recently had to use it in an emergency, and I'm curious about others' experiences. If you've used it, please share what happened and how the side effects impacted you.
