syrup of ipecac is a product that was approved by the fda some years ago to help induce vomiting. for a while it was a very common thing to be found in like baby baskets that you should always have it around the house. over the past few years though recently that's kind of changed and syrup of ipecac is actually not recommended anymore. the american academy of pediatrics has actually withdrawn it from their list of recommended products to have around children. so if there are any type of concerns call you poison control number they will walk you through the process. you will probably have to call for emergency help 911 as well just to go to the hospital to make sure everything is okay. but it is not a product that is recommended anymore.
what is syrup of ipecac. and how do i use it?
