Auch bekannt als Psychotria Ipecacuanha, Ipecacuanha ist ein kleines, ausdauernde tropische Pflanze, die die feuchten Wälder von Bolivien und Brasilien beheimatet ist, wo große Plantagen angelegt wurden, um die Sammlung von Ipecacuanha Wurzel zu kommerzialisieren. Ein großer Teil der Wurzel Ernte weiter von der wilden geerntet werden, vor allem in Südamerika. India also is an important producer of ipecac. At maturity, the roots have a dark brown or red covering, bitter taste, and musty odor.

Was wird es verwendet?
1.Traditional/Ethnobotanical uses
Brazilian Indians valued ipecac as a remedy for dysentery, and this information was brought to Europe by Portuguese missionaries. The dried root and rhizome are the source of the medicinally useful products. Ipecac has been widely used in syrup form as a potent and effective emetic. Ipecac powder had been used to induce sweating at the onset of influenza, and small amounts of the extract have been incorporated into cough syrups as expectorants. Emetine, derived from the root, has been used for more than a century to treat dysentery.
2. Emetic
Ipecac induces vomiting by an irritant action on the intestinal mucosa and produces reflex vomiting and diarrhea. It also exerts a central emetic action. Emetine, one of its principle active components, primarily has a central action on the chemoreceptor trigger zone. The syrup induces vomiting in 15 zu 60 minutes and is most effective when accompanied by fluid intake. Debate surrounds the use of ipecac. One study found no apparent benefit when syrup of ipecac was used in the home, although there may be a benefit in certain poisonings. This remains to be proven. Ipecac should be administered to an alert, conscious person who has ingested a potentially toxic amount of a poison. Do not administer ipecac to someone who has ingested either a corrosive substance or hydrocarbon with a high aspiration potential (eg, gasoline). Maximum benefit can be expected in those patients who take ipecac soon after poison ingestion.
3.Amebicide
Emetine, a component of ipecac, also has amebicidal components. While ipecac is not effective against amebic dysentery, it may be useful for amebic abscesses and hepatitis. Emetine injected intramuscularly is distributed systemically.
