What is Metoclopramide?
Active Ingredients: Metoclopramide
Metoclopramide Tablets are used to treat the symptoms of acute and recurrent diabetic gastroparesis. It's also indicated for gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) in patients who have not responded to other therapies. Oral Metoclopramide is prescribed to treat and prevent nausea or vomiting caused by migraines.
Metoclopramide is classified as a prokinetic agent and a dopamine D2 antagonist. It works by increasing gut motility, which helps reduce nausea and other gastrointestinal discomforts.
