It suppresses appetite.
B
It relieves pain.
C
It reduces fever.
D
It induces vomiting.
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the term 'emetic' by breaking down its root: 'emesis' means vomiting, so an emetic drug is related to causing vomiting.
Recall the primary function of an emetic drug, which is to induce vomiting, often used to expel toxins or poisons from the stomach.
Compare the options given: suppressing appetite, relieving pain, reducing fever, and inducing vomiting.
Recognize that suppressing appetite, relieving pain, and reducing fever are actions of different types of drugs (anorectics, analgesics, and antipyretics respectively), not emetics.
Conclude that the best description of an emetic drug is that it induces vomiting.
