    • It's a drug that was once widely used as an expectorant and a rapid-acting emetic.

    A. It's a drug that was once widely used as an expectorant and a rapid-acting emetic.
    Explanation
    Ipecac is a drug that was once widely used as an expectorant and a rapid-acting emetic. An expectorant helps to loosen mucus and phlegm from the respiratory tract, making it easier to cough up. Ipecac was also used as an emetic, which means it induced vomiting. However, it is important to note that ipecac is no longer recommended for routine use as an expectorant or emetic due to potential side effects and the availability of safer alternatives.
