Is there a medicine that makes you vomit?


Question:
I know you can get laxatives to make you poop, but can you take something to force vomiting? Sometimes when i feel really sick & need to vomit, I try to make myself throw up & it just doesn't happen.

Answers:
I can't do it either and sometimes you know it will make you feel better. A teaspoon of salt in a glass of water works quickly for me.

Epicac... also baking soda and water works like a charm.

Castor oil I think.
# 1 substance activated charcoal... or ipicac syrup found in the baby isle or in the pharmacy
yes, but it is generally used if you swallow a poison, not for purging.
Ipecac syrup
Not sure about the spelling... Syrup of ipicac...
Epicac will make you vomit.....that is what it's used for.

Syrup of Ipecac. Ask at your pharmacist.
its called yipicak i dont know if thats spelled right? but its in american pie band camp... lol... and ive heard of it before.... it induces vomitting within seconds
Ipecac syrup causing vomiting but it works too well. Use your good judgment.
syrup of ipecac. Seriously, that's the name/ Ask a pharmacist.
epicac and I am not sure of the spelling, it tastes yukky but parents have it on hand in case the kids swallow some poison.
Yes, it's called Ipecac Oral Solution. Don't fart arouind just drink the whole thing.
Yeah, unfortunately hyrdogen peroxide will make you puke anything up. It'll strip the dye out of anything it touchs though, so I'd recommend being directly over the toilet if you try it. My little sister swallowed fertilizer pellets when she was a kid and this is what poison control recommended to my mother.
Epicac will make you throw up. At hospitals they also use a liquid with charcoal when people overdose.
ipepac. why do you want to know? are you bulimic?
ipecac syrup... it used to be advised to keep it in the house incase of ingestion of toxic substances and vomiting needed to be induced. It is no longer advised but I'm not for sure if they stopped selling it over the counter- check with your pharmacist. And if you do use it - be careful- only use a small amount. I probably will not induce vomiting immediately- wait for it to go into effect.
There are some medicines that if you take on an empty stomach will make you sick, but I don't believe there are any intended to do that. Forcing vomiting is really an unhealthy thing to do because of eating disorders like bulemia. Try walking and pushing your belling out that works for me sometimes when I feel sick and cannot vomit.
Sounds to me like maybe you should try not throwing up. Bulimia is a serious eating disorder and if you're trying to purge food your eating you could have a big problem.
Just a warning here....you have been given information about medicine to induce vomiting. It is only to be used if someone has taken a poison or similar and when instructed to do so by a doctor or emergency personal. It is not to be used to simply induce vomiting because you want to vomit. I think you know what I am talking about. Please seek some help because forced vomiting is not a healthy way to lose weight and can cause a whole lot more health problems that you can imagine.
Actually, syrup of ipecac is no longer given to parents or available at drug stores. It isn't safe.

You may feel sick, but you will only throw up if your stomach actually needs to get rid of something. Don't EVER try to make yourself throw up. It is unhealthy and can be dangerous. Your body is remarkably able to do what it needs to -- don't try and help it along.
Well just make sure your not always doing it my aunt would do the same and her teeth are a disaster but as long as you don't care about your teeth or anything else than its ok but the acid can really eat away at you so just be careful
