Activated charcoal doesn't 'flush out' anything, it physically binds to a wide variety of chemicals, rendering them effectively inert. This is why it's used in oral poisoning cases: it can effectively massively reduce the dose of something.
However. It only works on stuff it can physically contact, and your body is not going to be absorbing activated charcoal into your bloodstream. It stays in your digestive system. So it can only affect a medication that is a) taken orally and b) not yet absorbed out of the digestive system and into the bloodstream.
Activated charcoal also doesn't differentiate between 'natural' and 'synthetic' substances, so it's just as likely to bind to a random assortment of the constituents of the food you've eaten, or, indeed, the other ingredients in the drink you've made/purchased before it's even consumed. It's not a magical medication nullifier, but it's also not food and should only really be consumed on the recommendation of a medical professional for an acute event.
Furthermore the 'activated charcoal' in things like Starbucks drinks is unlikely to be actually activated charcoal, which is a very specific thing, and may well be just. Normal charcoal ground up finely, which is not the same thing.
TL: DR: activated charcoal is unlikely to magically deactivate all your meds, but it's probably not a great idea to be consuming it anyway, as it's not digestible and may be adsorbing things you don't want it to, if what you're consuming in your drinks etc is indeed activated charcoal and not just a random and (hopefully) nontoxic black powder
