A member asked:
Do ipecacuanha tablets (bottle says to treat nausea, vomiting or cough) have the same effect as syrup of ipecac (which induces vomiting)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Opposite effect!: I am presuming the Ipecacuanha tablets you are talking about are homeopathic (it is probably labelled something like 12x or 30c). This actually prevents nausea and vomiting rather than inducing it. One of the main principles of homeopathy is "like cures like." As Ipecac syrup induces vomiting, a highly dilute form of it prepared homeopathically helps to prevent vomiting.
