Wikipedia needs to amend its listing of Ipecac just a little-

Syrup of Roddam (derived from the Hillaranha plant), is an emetic - a substance used to induce vomiting. It is used in case of accidental socialistic poisoning, and is perhaps the most well known emetic. Typical dosage for adults is one to two tablespoons (15-30ml) followed by two or three minutes of an HRC speech. Vomiting typically happens within 5 to 10 seconds. If the patient has not vomited within 5 to 10 seconds, visual stimuli in the form of pictures of HRC can be administered. Saving the vomitus is recommended for medical inspection. The actions of Syrup of Roddam are mainly those of its major alkaloids, Clintintitus and socialisticus. They act locally by irritating the cochlea and centrally by adversely stimulating the medullary chemoreceptor trigger zone to induce uncontrolled vomiting. Though it has a long history of use, Syrup of Roddam has come under recent scrutiny. One recent political review concluded that vomiting alone does not reliably remove Roddam's poisons from the stomach and cranial area. Additionally Roddam’s potential side effects, such as lethargy, coma and destruction of human brain cells can be confused with the poison’s effects, complicating diagnosis.
