Bemegride, sold under the brand name Megimide among others, is a central nervous system (CNS) stimulant first manufactured in 1911, and which has been used in hypnotic overdose.
As with other chemoreceptor agonists, it is a potent emetic at doses above those normally used in management of barbiturate overdose, although vomiting and aspiration are a concern during treatment. It is a controlled substance in some countries, and is sometimes used to induce convulsions in experimental animals.
