The quantitative output of vomitus is measured. If approximately 1280ml(2 prastha) of vomitus is expelled out, it is considered a maximum purification level. The 960ml(1.5 prastha) and 640ml (1 prastha) are considered moderate and minimum purification levels respectively. [Cha.Sa.[[Siddhi Sthana]] 1/14] Vagbhata differs in opinion by considering 640ml (1 prastha) and 320ml (1/2 prastha) as moderate and minimum levels of purification. [A.Hr.Sutra Sthana 18/31]

The quantity of [[dosha]] expelled (maniki) should be calculated by excluding the intake of all medicines given to the patient.[Cha.Sa.[[Siddhi Sthana]] 1/14] Practically it is observed that the amount of vomitus is always less when compared to the intake consumed by patient. In other words, some amount of total intake remains inside the patient's body.<ref name=GuptaB6/> <ref name=Sachin9/> So, more practically, the intake-output ratio should be measured to better understand the amount of [[dosha]] expelled. For this purpose, the Maniki Shuddhi Index (MSI) is introduced.

Various physiological and biochemical changes occur after therapeutic emesis. In a study conducted on 30 healthy volunteers, Erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), LDL and blood urea decreased significantly immediately after emesis.  Slight reduction in serum sodium, potassium, creatinine and protein levels was reported. Plasma histamine and plasma adrenaline also reduced insignificantly. Total leukocyte count, HDL, SGOT and SGPT were increased significantly immediately after vamana. Plasma dopamine, nor adrenaline and IgEwere insignificantly increased.  A reduction in ESR and AEC is reported in a study among 15 participants with seed powder of Lagenaria siceraria (ikshvaku).<ref name=Shweta12>Shweta GP, AB Thakar.
