• Product Details

    Metoclopramide is a medication used to treat gastrointestinal disorders such as nausea, vomiting, and reflux. It works by increasing muscle contractions in the upper digestive tract, helping food move more easily through the stomach and intestines. Metoclopramide is available in various forms, including tablets, syrup, and injections, and is typically taken before meals or as directed by a healthcare provider. It's important to use Metoclopramide as prescribed and to follow the recommended dosage to minimize the risk of side effects.

  • FAQs

    Can Metoclopramide be used to treat nausea and vomiting associated with chemotherapy?

    Metoclopramide is sometimes used to manage nausea and vomiting caused by chemotherapy. However, its use in this context is generally limited due to the risk of serious side effects, particularly related to movement disorders. Other medications may be preferred for managing chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting.

    Is Metoclopramide safe for long-term use?

    Long-term use of Metoclopramide may increase the risk of developing tardive dyskinesia, a serious movement disorder characterized by repetitive, involuntary movements. Due to this risk, Metoclopramide is usually prescribed for short-term treatment of gastrointestinal disorders.

    Can Metoclopramide be taken with other medications?

    Metoclopramide may interact with certain medications, including opioids, sedatives, and medications that affect dopamine levels in the brain. It's important to inform your healthcare provider about all medications you are currently taking to avoid potential interactions and adverse effects.
