A good result can be achieved with ipecac syrup. In unconscious patients, vomiting should not be induced. Precautions should be taken against aspiration, especially in children.

If vomiting is ineffective or contraindicated, gastric lavage should be performed using saline, especially in children. In adults, tap water can also be used. It is necessary to separate as much as possible before the next infusion. Salt laxatives slow the intestinal absorption of water by osmosis and are therefore suitable for the rapid dilution of intestinal contents.
