    Question Ipecac

    Can someone please tell me what Ipecac is? I've read some of you talk about it. Is it not available in the uk? Why not? How and here do you get it from and what do you say to the pharmacist as to why you want it?

    Ipecac is a syrup that induces vomiting...
    It is VERY bad for you and can cause death by using it (it damages your heart). It's meant for if someone swallows something poisonous, and most of the time a poison control center will tell you NOT to you use it.
    I don't know about in the UK, but in the US, you need to usually ask the pharmacist for it (you may even have to be 18 to buy it)

    I used ipecac for awhile... it is extremely disguisting. I love puking, but that stuff has a horrible taste. But the girl above is right, it is extremely dangerous. I was told that if I didn't stop when i did, one more bottle could have killed me. My blood test showed that I was "toxic". And whatever damage it does to ur heart is perminant. Look up Karen Carpenter, it killed her. Bottom line: DONT USE IT!
