Emetrol was created by Kinney and Company of Columbus, Indiana and was first used in 1949.[1]
It is a phosphorated carbohydrate solution, and comes in syrup form.
Since Emetrol contains fructose it is contraindicated for people with hereditary fructose intolerance (HFI). In diabetes patients, it can cause potentially harmful hyperglycaemia (high blood sugar).[2]
