Effectiveness
How Reglan Affects PatientsMetoclopramide helps your stomach empty faster by relaxing the muscle at the bottom of your esophagus. It also helps to reduce nausea and vomiting. Additionally, it helps your gastrointestinal tract move without increasing the amount of acid or digestive juices. However, if taken for more than twelve weeks, it can cause unwanted symptoms such as tardive dyskinesia, dystonia, and akathisia.
How Reglan works in the bodyMetoclopramide is an antiemetic and prokinetic drug. It helps reduce nausea and vomiting by blocking dopamine and serotonin signals in the brain, and it helps food move through the digestive system by blocking dopamine signals in the muscles. It also helps increase the activity of a key muscle in the digestive system, allowing food to pass through faster.

Reglan Toxicity & Overdose RiskThe lowest toxic dose of metoclopramide in rats has been found to be 750mg/kg. Overdosing on metoclopramide can lead to drowsiness, confusion, and movement disorders. Medications for Parkinson's disease, anticholinergic drugs, or antihistamines with anticholinergic properties may be used to treat these symptoms. In infants, an overdose can cause seizures, movement disorders and a lethargic state. Methemoglobinemia, a condition where the blood cannot carry enough oxygen, can also occur after a metoclopramide overdose. Methylene blue can be

Reglan Reviews: What are patients saying about Reglan?
5Patient Review
11/22/2018 I only need to take one dose of this medication per day, as needed, and it effectively controls my nausea.
5Patient Review
5/20/2017 Diabetic, have been having issues with nausea and vomiting for over a year now. Since being put on this medication, I can finally eat again without feeling full all the time or nauseous. It's great to feel hunger again. Will definitely be continuing use of this drug.
5Patient Review
11/13/2017 I was initially worried about the potential side effects of this medication, but it has helped a lot in just two weeks.
1.3Patient Review
8/10/2019 Unfortunately, this medication made my muscle spasms worse and also increased my nausea.
1Patient Review
2/10/2018 Do not use this medication. I used the generic form and it caused me a great deal of mental and emotional distress, to the point where I had to go on two different medications to get through it. This drug is banned in Europe and Canada for good reason, and it should be taken off the market in the United States as well.
1Patient Review
1/5/2019 I only took this medication for two days, but it caused me a great deal of distress. I had strange dreams, felt restless and couldn't sleep at all. I also experienced suicidal thoughts, paranoia and anxiety. The trembling and anxiety were so bad that I decided to stop taking the drug. Based on my experience, I would warn others about this dangerous medication.
1Patient Review
2/25/2022 Do not take this if you have POTS! It had a really adverse effect on my nervous system and caused my heart rate to skyrocket. I met a nurse who said her daughter had a similar reaction. It was scary and I'm still shaken up from it. Please be careful.
1Patient Review
1/26/2020 I would recommend trying Amitriptyline before using Reglan for an extended period of time.
1Patient Review
1/26/2020 I would recommend Amitriptyline over Reglan if you're struggling with nausea that standard antacids haven't been able to touch.
1Patient Review
4/17/2022 IV administration in hospital for nausea caused me great distress. I felt an overwhelming urge to move and could not stand still. It was one of the worst experiences of my life. This treatment should only be used as a last resort.
