Dunno, and that’s a good question, but most medicines contain only a barely visible speck of active ingredient, and activated charcoal is freakishly good at its job.
You might not notice your antidepressant being temporarily at 80% strength, but you might very well notice the same thing happening to your birth control! Eventually.

Have a “research” on me, Papasan. Make it a double. You’ve earned it.

While agreeing that taking activated charcoal for fun or as a health supplement is generally a bad idea…
Will someone who is less busy than I am look up how well dairy inhibits activated charcoal’s effectiveness, how that mechanism works, and if it would be possible to create a super black ice cream that would not possibly be contraindicated for medications? 
I’m still wary of the ice cream here, but I’m curious about this.

Correct! heeheehee
The best citation lead I have after 5 minutes is USP DI: drug information for the health care professional, 22nd ed. Greenwood Village, CO: Micromedex; 2002;1:848-51, but I don’t have that.
Hm, a finger or two of some addition peer review couldn’t hurt.

If I understand correctly, drinking stuff that’s been filtered through activated charcoal is fine unless the filter was damaged, because the charcoal (and whatever it pulled out of the liquid) stays in the filter. It’s only if you’re eating/drinking the charcoal directly that you get these problems.
Am I to infer from this article’s mention of ““Leather-Aged” Cocktails and Spirits” that there are people out there effectively running solvent extractions on bits of authentic dead cow rind; and then drinking the results?
Do chromium salts taste good the way lead salts do or something?

I set out to replicate findings last night, but seem to have lost all my data.
Oh well, there’s still tonight.

I’m jealous. I didn’t eat a huge amount of grapefruit pre-sertraline, but now I can’t I really want to…
