Product Description

Metoclopramide syrup 5mg/5ml is a common prescription medication used to treat various gastrointestinal conditions, primarily nausea and vomiting. It is a prokinetic agent, meaning it helps speed up the movement of food through the digestive tract.
How Metoclopramide Syrup Works:
Metoclopramide works by blocking the action of dopamine, a neurotransmitter in the brain that can trigger nausea and vomiting. It also stimulates the muscles in the stomach and intestines, promoting faster emptying of the stomach and improved movement of food through the digestive tract.
Uses:
Metoclopramide syrup is used to treat:
  • Nausea and Vomiting: It is used to treat nausea and vomiting caused by various conditions, including gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), diabetic gastroparesis (delayed stomach emptying), and migraine headaches.
  • Gastroparesis: Metoclopramide helps improve stomach emptying in patients with diabetic gastroparesis, reducing symptoms like nausea, vomiting, and abdominal fullness.
  • GERD: It can be used to treat persistent heartburn in patients where conventional medications have not been effective.
Dosage and Administration:
The dosage of metoclopramide syrup varies depending on the individual's age, weight, and the specific condition being treated. It is typically taken by mouth, usually 30 minutes before meals and at bedtime. The usual dosage is 4 times daily, but your doctor may adjust it based on your needs.
Important Precautions:
  • Tardive Dyskinesia: Metoclopramide can cause a serious movement disorder called tardive dyskinesia, which can be irreversible. The risk of developing this condition increases with the duration of treatment and the total cumulative dose. Treatment with metoclopramide should be discontinued if signs or symptoms of tardive dyskinesia appear.
  • Long-Term Use: Treatment with metoclopramide should be avoided for longer than 12 weeks, except in rare cases where the benefits outweigh the risks.
  • Drug Interactions: Metoclopramide can interact with other medications, including those for epilepsy, depression, indigestion, high blood pressure, and heart problems. It's essential to inform your doctor about all medications, supplements, and herbal remedies you are using.
  • Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: Metoclopramide should only be used during pregnancy when clearly needed, as it may harm an unborn baby. It can also pass into breast milk, so consult with your doctor before taking it while breastfeeding.
  • Alcohol: Avoid alcohol consumption while taking metoclopramide, as it can interfere with the medication's effectiveness.
Side Effects:
Common side effects of metoclopramide include:
  • Drowsiness
  • Dizziness
  • Tiredness
  • Diarrhea
  • Headache
  • Muscle stiffness
  • Restlessness
  • Tremors
  • Slow heartbeat
