This medicine may increase the risk of heart rhythm disturbances.
Metoclopramide is a medication used to treat nausea and vomiting caused by various conditions, including migraines, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, or surgery. It is also used to speed up stomach emptying in cases of gastroparesis (delayed stomach emptying) and to relieve symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux.
This medication works by stimulating gastrointestinal motility and blocking dopamine receptors in the brain, which helps reduce nausea and prevent vomiting.
Side effects may include drowsiness, fatigue, dizziness, diarrhea, or muscle spasms. In rare cases, it can cause more serious reactions, such as extrapyramidal symptoms (involuntary movements), muscle rigidity, or mood changes. It is important to take metoclopramide as prescribed by a doctor, and long-term use should be avoided as it may increase the risk of adverse effects.
