Metoclopramide

Metoclopramide is a medication commonly used to treat nausea and vomiting, especially after surgery or chemotherapy. It works by speeding up the movement of food through the stomach and intestines, making it useful for conditions like gastroparesis, where digestion is slow. Additionally, it can help relieve symptoms of reflux, as it strengthens the lower esophageal sphincter. While effective, metoclopramide can have side effects, including fatigue, restlessness, or, in rare cases, serious movement disorders. Due to these potential issues, it is important for it to be used under medical supervision.
