Quick Reference
What Is Apomorphine?
Apomorphine is a centrally acting emetic medication used in veterinary medicine to rapidly induce vomiting in dogs following ingestion of certain toxins or foreign substances. It is most effective when administered shortly after ingestion and should only be used under veterinary direction.
How Apomorphine Works in Dogs
Apomorphine works by stimulating dopamine receptors in the chemoreceptor trigger zone (CTZ) of the brain, activating the vomiting reflex. Vomiting typically occurs within minutes of administration, making it useful in emergency situations when rapid intervention is required.
