Treatment SummaryMetoclopramide is a medication used to treat nausea, vomiting, and other symptoms caused by diabetic gastroparesis. It is also used to treat nausea and vomiting caused by chemotherapy or certain medical procedures. Unlike some other medications, metoclopramide does not increase stomach acid production.

Effectiveness

How Metoclopramide Affects PatientsMetoclopramide helps food pass through your digestive system by reducing the pressure of the lower esophageal sphincter. It also helps prevent and reduce symptoms of nausea and vomiting. It increases digestive activity without increasing the amount of acid produced in the stomach, bile, or pancreas. However, it should not be taken for longer than 12 weeks since it can cause tardive dyskinesia (TD), dystonia, and akathisia.
How Metoclopramide works in the bodyMetoclopramide works to prevent nausea and vomiting by blocking dopamine and serotonin receptors in the brain. It also increases the amount of acetylcholine released, which helps to speed up digestion and reduce stomach discomfort. Metoclopramide also works by blocking dopamine receptors, which can help to relax the gastrointestinal tract.

When to interrupt dosage

The prescribed measure of Metoclopramide is reliant upon the identified illness, including Nausea, Intubation (process) and Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD). The dosage may differ, as indicated by the administration technique (e.g. Spray or Tablet, orally disintegrating) listed in the table beneath.

Metoclopramide Toxicity & Overdose RiskMetoclopramide has a toxic dose of 750mg/kg in rats. An overdose on metoclopramide can cause drowsiness, confusion, and muscle control problems. To treat these symptoms, drugs used for Parkinson's disease or antihistamines with anticholinergic properties may be used. In some cases, these symptoms may last up to 24 hours. Unintentional overdose in infants can lead to seizures, muscle control issues, and a weak state. Additionally, methemoglobinemia (a rare blood disorder) can occur after an overdose. To treat this, methylene blue may be administered. However

Metoclopramide for Condition in which Stomach Acid is Pushed Into the Esophagus
I've been taking this medication for nearly a decade, and have only just now realized that it has caused my breasts to grow larger and my sex drive to dwindle. As a man, this was never explained to me by the doctor prescribing the drug, and I feel like it amounts to criminal negligence.
