① Emetic: generally used for poisoning by organic phosphorus and similar drugs. Subcutaneous injection of the emetic veratrine 0.01-0.03 g, or oral administration of the emetic ipecac powder 1-3 g; if no emetic is available, a wooden stick or rubber tube may be used to lightly wipe the throat mucosa to stimulate vomiting. ② Gastric lavage: when the poison has been in the pig's body for 4-6 hours, gastric lavage should be performed. For hydrocyanic acid poisoning, a 1% potassium permanganate solution or 3% hydrogen peroxide may be used; for organic phosphorus pesticide poisoning, a 1%-5% sodium bicarbonate solution may be used; for zinc phosphide poisoning, a 1% copper sulfate solution may be used. Gastric lavage is not suitable for corrosive drug poisoning

Gastric lavage is not suitable for corrosive drug poisoning, to avoid causing gastric perforation. During gastric lavage, rinse repeatedly until the water washed out becomes clear.
