The AMA and USFDA used to recommend using Syrup of ipecac. That product no longer made and is not available in the U.S. It was determined that the dangers far outweighed what studies showed were negligible positives. Of people who ingested poison, they could not prove that those who took Ipecac and vomited fared any better than those who did not take the Ipecac.

If you need Poison Control assistance, call them with information about what was swallowed. They will tell you what you need to do.
