On the back, it says do not administer carbonated beverages with this product. Is it OK to use it after drinking coke?

Ipecac is not considered safe to use any longer. It does not remove poison from the system and it has long-term effects on the esophagus. Its method of action is to disturb the muscles of the esophagus and the heart.
Please talk to your school health center for help. Taking emetics is a sign of an eating disorder.

It's not ok to use ipecac for anything except to induce vomiting after accidental poisoning. Newer recommendations avoid the use of ipecac altogether because of certain risks like aspiration and rupture of the esophageal blood vessels.
If you're concerned about calories, drink a diet soft drink.
Reading between the lines, it sounds as if you're obsessed with calories, and I would recommend you consider counseling before you really cause yourself harm. Purging is dangerous.

Why would you do what the instructions tell you NOT to do?
And why would you want to throw up after having a Coke? Are you that freaked out about calories? Then you need serious help.

Are you trying to pull a prank on someone,to see what will happen ? Don't do it,a person could choke to death while vomiting,inhaling stomach contents into the lungs. it can also cause a chemical pneumonia by inhaling caustic stomach acids.The same risk's would be for you if you're trying to "purge" after a binge.It's dumb and dangerous etc. SW RNP
