How do you induce vomiting?

Answer by  Pam84 (330)

Some people can just think about it and vomit. Some can stick their finger down their throat until the gag reflex kicks in and that MAY induce vomiting. Syrup of Ipecac also induces vomiting, long recommended by poison control, but no longer is in use. Do not consider vomiting as a way of weight control, it's a very dangerous path!

You should only induce vomiting if you've been instructed to do so by a physician or poison control. But syrup of ipecac is most commonly used.

Ipecac syrup or stick your finger down your throat are the easiest ways, or you could overeat to the point where you are stuffed.

It is generally not a good idea to induce vomiting but if you need to, you either need to stimulate your gag reflex or buy an emetic over the counter that you can take to help induce vomiting. Make sure to place your head lower than your hips to keep the vomit from getting into your lungs.

The best way to induce vomiting is to take some ipecac. You can also stick your finger down your throat. Another way to make it easily happen is to stuff your mouth full of food.

If you push your finger to the back of your throat and stimulate your gag reflex you might throw up. I hope you aren't trying to induce vomiting to lose weight. It won't work very well.

Most people are able to induce vomiting by gagging themselves or even by sticking their finger into the back of their mouth which causes a gagging reflex.
