Metoclopramide
Metoclopramide is a medication primarily used to treat nausea and vomiting, especially in patients undergoing chemotherapy or surgery. It works by blocking certain signals in the brain that trigger these symptoms, helping to relieve discomfort. Additionally, it can aid in speeding up the movement of food through the stomach and intestines, making it useful for conditions like gastroparesis.
This drug is available in various forms, including tablets, injections, and oral solutions. While generally effective, Metoclopramide can have side effects, such as drowsiness or restlessness, and should be used under medical supervision to avoid potential complications.
