How Do Toxicologists Use Knowledge of the Vomiting Center?
Toxicologists use their understanding of the vomiting center to manage and treat poisoning cases. By knowing which substances are likely to induce vomiting, they can predict the body's natural response and decide whether to support or suppress this reflex. In some cases, inducing vomiting with emetics may be appropriate, while in others, antiemetic drugs are administered to prevent further complications.
