Medullary emetic center

Emetics are used to induce vomiting and are frequently administered to help empty the stomach of poisons or ingested toxins. The two primary emetics are apo-morphine and ipecac. Both agents seem to work by stimulating the medullary emetic center, and ipecac also exerts a direct emetic effect on the stomach. [Pg.397]
