Each 5 mL dose contains 3.74 g total sugar and 21.5 mg of phosphoric acid. The inactive ingredients are FD&C red No. 40, flavors, glycerin, methylparaben, and purified water. Since Emetrol contains fructose it should not be taken by anyone with hereditary fructose intolerance, or HFI. Diabetics should speak with a physician before taking this medication. It should not be taken more than 5 doses in 1 hour without consulting a doctor. If upset stomach continues or recurs frequently, consult a physician.
