Good question! Since ipecac acts on a center in the brain called the chemoreceptor zone, once enough ipecac is present in the blood it will induce vomiting. The chemoreceptor zone is triggered by substances in the blood (such as poisons, alcohol, bacteria, viruses, etc.). So if enough ipecac is absorbed into the bloodstream through the rectal wall, the person will vomit The other zone in the brain that can cause vomiting is the vomit center, which causes vomiting by stimulation from the body's senses (like if we smell something gross, or if we get motion sickness, or if we gag ourselves).
