AB Ipecac  syrup  is  an  alkaloid  derivative  of  the  ipecacuanha  plant  (Cephaline  ipecacuanha).  The  principal  alkaloids,  emetine  and  cephaline,  both  have  emetogenic  properties.  The  emetine  extract  has  been  used  for  the  treatment  of  amebiasis.  Syrup  of  ipecac  is  no  longer  widely  available  over  the  counter,  nor  is  it  recommended  for  home  use  by  pediatricians.
