The principal effect of metoclopramide is on symptoms of postprandial and daytime heartburn with less observed effect on nocturnal symptoms. If symptoms are confined to particular situations, such as following the evening meal, use of metoclopramide as single doses prior to the provocative situation should be considered, rather than using the drug throughout the day.

MEDICATION GUIDE
Metoclopramide (met-o-KLO-pra-mide) Oral Solution USP
Read the Medication Guide that comes with Metoclopramide before you
start taking it and each time you
get a refill. There may be new information. If you take another
product that contains metoclopramide
(such as REGLAN tablets, REGLAN ODT, or REGLAN injection), you should
read the Medication
Guide that comes with that product. Some of the information may be
different. This Medication Guide
does not take the place of talking with your doctor about your medical
condition or your treatment.
What is the most important information I should know about
Metoclopramide?
Metoclopramide can cause serious side effects, including:
called tardive dyskinesia. These movements happen mostly in the face
muscles. You cannot control these
movements. They may not go away even after stopping Metoclopramide.
There is no treatment for tardive
dyskinesia, but symptoms may lessen or go away over time after you
stop taking Metoclopramide
Abnormal muscle movements
Your chances for getting tardive dyskinesia go up:
•
the longer you take Metoclopramide and the more Metoclopramide you
take. You should not take
Metoclopramide for more than 12 weeks.
•
if you are older, especially if you are a woman
•
if you have diabetes
It is not possible for your doctor to know if you will get tardive
dyskinesia if you take Metoclopramide.
Call your doctor right away if you get movements you cannot stop or
control, such as:
•
lip smacking, chewing, or puckering up your mouth
•
frowning or scowling
•
sticking out your tongue
•
blinking and moving your eyes
•
shaking of your arms and legs
Your doctor may decide to stop Metoclopramide.

dependent on intact vagal innervation,
but it can be abolished by anticholinergic drugs.
Metoclopramide increases the tone and amplitude of gastric (especially
antral) contractions, relaxe
