Ipecac
45 Topics FoundSyrup of ipecac (/pkæk/), commonly referred to as ipecac, is a drug that was once widely used as an expectorant (in low doses) and a rapid-acting emetic (in higher doses). It is obtained from the dried rhizome and roots of the ipecacuanha plant (Carapichea ipecacuanha), from which it derives its name.

I am looking for any OTC products that contain ipecac ## You can purchase just straight Ipecac at your local pharmacy over the counter, most people keep around in case of posioning emergencies.

There were also many differences back then for what were considered pharmaceutical products. Does anyone have information on this? ## my mother use to give to to us in the early 60's. ## I used it in the 1980s and it worked well. I don't tolerate the chemical ones.
