Where can you buy ipecac?

Question

And, is it only sold to people over 21?

Answer 1

You can buy ipecac from http://www.amazon.com/gp/search?ie=UTF8&...

Answer 2

Any drug store. Everyone should have a bottle in the first aid kit. Yes you should get advise before using, but if poison control says to give your 2 year old ipecac, are you going to wish it was closer than the nearest open drug store?

Answer 3

HI,

Supermarkets, drug stores etc.....it's for inducing vomiting but it always suggests calling your doc or poison control before using.

Love,

Answer 4

Answer 5

the pharmacy. but don't use it if you have bulemia or anorexia. you will get a hiatal hernia or burn your esophagus.

Answer 6

Here, (Redding, Ca) you can buy it at Walgreens right off the shelf. I don't think it is an age restricted item. Be very careful, misuse can cause serious health problems. If you are looking to use it for an remedy for poisoning take a look at the link below.

Answer 7

Syrup of ipecac is sold over the counter at most pharmacies, but it's usefulness is under question.  As a pediatrician, it is an OLD remedy recommended to induce emesis (vomiting) in children, and is NO LONGER RECOMMENDED unless you speak to your physician first.

Hope that helps.  Please do not use unless advised by your physician.

Answer 8

Why do you want to use Ipecac? There was an entire Episode of House where a business powered woman was abusing it, and she damaged her heart to the point of where she needed a transplant. I would advise against the use of it unless you have a serious emergency. Since you are asking here, I will assume your purpose for it is not medicinal or immediate.
