Ipecac syrup is intended to be used in emergencies and should only be administered if someone has swallowed poison (please see warning below). Ipecac causes severe vomiting but can have many side-effects, both short-term and long-term. These side-effects include dizziness, nausea, stomach cramps, respiratory difficulties, fast or irregular heartbeat, seizures and pneumonia. If the ipecac is not vomited or an individual overdoses, it can cause serious heart problems and even death. Even in emergencies where someone has been poisoned, bottles labelled "Ipecac Fluidextract" or "Ipecac Tincture" should NOT be used as the dosage will be too strong and can lead to death.
Please note: you should not use or administer ipecac without having first consulted the poison control center or your doctor. They will be able to tell you whether or not you should use Ipecac. With some poisons, vomiting can do more harm than good.

Ipecec. It will induce vomitting. Docs usually give it to people if they drink poisons like in cleaning products.

If you're trying to induce it yourself, try castor oil. Believe me, it works.
