ORIGINAL: ownedgirlie From http://www.poison.org/prepared/ipecac.asp : There are times when ipecac is unsafe. It shouldn't be given to someone who swallowed chemicals that cause burns on contact or medicines that can cause seizures very quickly. It can be dangerous to people with some types of medical problems. When such poisoning victims got ipecac anyway, they developed serious complications or even died. More and more people with eating disorders were using ipecac to make themselves throw up. Regular use of ipecac syrup is dangerous; for example, chronic users have died from heart problems. Sometimes people vomiting after ipecac could not keep down other drugs they needed to treat their poisonings From http://www.medicinenet.com/ipecac-oral/article.htm: In addition to the expected effect of vomiting, this medication may cause drowsiness, diarrhea, and stomach ache. If you notice other effects not listed above, contact your doctor or pharmacist. From http://www.drugs.com/cons/ipecac.html The presence of other medical problems may affect the use of ipecac. Make sure you tell your doctor or the person you talk to at the poison control center or the emergency room if you have any other medical problems, especially: - Heart disease—There is an increased risk of heart problems, such as unusually fast heartbeat, if the ipecac is not vomited
Also from same site: Side Effects of This Medicine Along with its needed effects, a medicine may cause some unwanted effects. Although side effects usually do not occur with recommended doses of ipecac, if they do occur they may need medical attention. Check with your doctor as soon as possible if any of the following side effects occur: Symptoms of overdose (may also occur if ipecac is taken regularly) Diarrhea; fast or irregular heartbeat; nausea or vomiting (continuing more than 30 minutes); stomach cramps or pain; troubled breathing; unusual tiredness or weakness; weakness, aching, and stiffness of muscles, especially those of the neck, arms, and legs Other side effects not listed above may also occur in some patients. If you notice any other effects, check with your doctor. This is gross (warning), but it's a YouTube of someone who drank it. Those who want to toy with Epicac ought to watch it. The guy only drank a few ounces and seriously got uncontrollably sick (I seriously advise not watching the last 20 seconds or so though. You won't need epicac to get sick if you do - I don't get sick easily and I had to turn it off). If you plan on playing with Epicac, then I recommend watching the first half of this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nt4rUpM19YU It's funny you posted that link, because that's actually what gave me the ipecac idea in the first place!
