Reglan (brand name)

Reglan, also known by its generic name metoclopramide, is a medication primarily used to treat gastrointestinal issues. It helps with conditions like nausea, vomiting, and slow stomach emptying, often associated with chemotherapy, surgery, or digestive disorders. Reglan works by increasing the movement in the stomach and intestines, allowing food to pass through more easily. It can be administered orally or through injection. While effective, it may cause side effects, including drowsiness and, in rare cases, movement disorders. It is important to use Reglan under a healthcare provider's supervision to ensure safety and effectiveness.
