Metoclopramide Hcl

Drug Info for metoclopramide hcl

Metoclopramide is used to relieve heartburn and speed the healing of ulcers and sores in the esophagus (tube that connects the mouth to the stomach) in people who have gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD; condition in which backward flow of acid from the stomach causes heartburn and injury of the esophagus) that did not get better with other treatments. Metoclopramide is also used to relieve symptoms caused by slow stomach emptying in people who have diabetes. These symptoms include nausea, vomiting, heartburn, loss of appetite, and feeling of fullness that lasts long after meals. Metoclopramide is in a class of medications called prokinetic agents. It works by speeding the movement of food through the stomach and intestines.

Reglan is a prescription-only medication that is used to treat heartburn and digestive ulcers symptoms in patients diagnosed with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Reglan works by increasing the contraction of muscles within the digestive tract to influence movement in the stomach and intestines.
