Drug Information
5 reviews for Metoclopramide
Metoclopramide is a medicine that relieves nausea and vomiting and helps the stomach empty faster.
Because it can cause movement side effects, it is usually used for no more than 5 days.
What is it used for?
- Nausea and vomiting, including from migraine and after surgery
- Slow stomach emptying (gastroparesis), especially in diabetes
- Reflux (in some countries)
How does it work?
Metoclopramide blocks dopamine in the vomiting centre of the brain and helps the stomach and gut muscles push food along.
