Metoclopramide is the generic term for a medication used to alleviate nausea and vomiting, treat gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), and improve gastrointestinal motility in patients with gastroparesis (poor stomach emptying).

Most patients buy Metoclopramide under its more widely-recognized names, which include Reglan, Vominorm, Clopan, Klopra, and many others. In many areas patients can buy Metoclopramide in combination with other medications, such as Migracid, which contains both Metoclopramide and paracetamol to alleviate both nausea and vomiting associated with migraines as well as address the pain.

Metoclopramide can be used in all ages when appropriate. Patients under age 20 may require dosage and duration of use modification.

Soon-to-be mothers can buy Metoclopramide to alleviate moderate to severe nausea or vomiting associated with pregnancy. Numerous studies at all stages of pregnancy have shown no ill effects.

Note that this product does have some serious side effects associated with it. Patients who buy Metoclopramide must follow doctor instructions carefully and not exceed dosage or duration of use.

Metoclopramide Basics

Metoclopramide is available in several formulas:

• Tablets
• Orally-dissolving tablets
• Oral solution
• Injections

The majority of patients buy Metoclopramide in tablet form. Injections are usually reserved for severe cases of gastroparesis, while oral solutions and orally-dissolving tablets are usually reserved for children or patients unable to swallow whole tablets.

Most manufacturers make tablets available in two strengths:

• 5 mg
• 10 mg

Dosage ranges from 5 to 20 mg at a time, with the average being 10 to 15 mg per dose. Exact dosage depends on a number of factors, including the condition, its severity, patient response, age, weight, and so forth; ideally a doctor who can take all of these into account will determine dosage.

Starting guidelines for GERD and gastroparesis are:

• Take 10 to 15 mg four times per day, 30 minutes prior to a meal and before bed (total 40 to 60 mg per day).
• If symptoms occur only at certain times or following certain situations, 10 to 20 mg may be taken prior to the time or provoking situation instead of four times per day.
• Treatment typically continues for 2 to 8 weeks.
• Do not exceed 20 mg in a single dose.
• Do not exceed 12 weeks of treatment without explicit doctor approval.

In other applications treatment is as-needed; to alleviate nausea and vomiting from various causes---including chemotherapy, pregnancy, migraines, and so forth---treatment is often:

• Take 10 to 15 mg at the earliest symptoms.
• Do not exceed 20 mg in a single dose.
• Doctor instructions are variable in these cases and may deviate from the above.

The final consideration is duration of treatment. If using the medication just once or twice a month treatment can probably continue indefinitely. If using it more often, duration should be discussed with a doctor. If taking Metoclopramide daily, use should not exceed 12 weeks; longer use is associated with serious side effects in some cases.

Potential Complications

Those who buy Metoclopramide for any purpose should be aware of the potentially severe side effects associated with it---depression and extrapyramidal symptoms (involuntary, repetitive body movements). Both of these are rare, but both are more likely to occur when:

• Patients are under 20 years old;
• Doses are high (over 20 mg per dose);
• Duration of use exceeds 3 consecutive months (12 weeks).

Even if all three of the above apply, developing severe depression or extrapyramidal symptoms is unlikely. However, there is a chance, and because they can have a serious---and sometimes permanent---impact on a patient's life, caution is warranted.

Patients with a history of depression or movement disorders may not want to buy Metoclopramide, certainly not without first discussing risks and warning signs with a doctor.
