INTRODUCTION
REGLAN 10MG contains Metoclopramide which belongs to a group of medicines called anti-emetics. It is used to prevent delayed nausea and vomiting (may occur after chemotherapy and radiotherapy) and also treats nausea and vomiting which may occur with a migraine. This medicine can be taken with oral painkillers in case of migraine to help painkillers work more effectively. It also improves gastric emptying by restoring normal coordination and tone to the upper digestive tract. Take the medicine according to the dose and duration as advised by your doctor.
Metoclopramide antagonizes the effect of dopamine in the central nervous system and other organ systems. This action helps to reduce feelings of sickness (nausea) and helps stops vomiting.
Always take REGLAN 10MG exactly as directed by your doctor. Before taking this medicine, tell your doctor if you have or had any kidney, liver or heart impairment, epilepsy or bleeding disorders. Pregnant and breastfeeding mothers consult your doctor before taking the medicine. It is not suitable for use in children below 1 year of age. The common side effects are drowsiness, uncontrollable movements, restlessness and weakness. Do not drive or handle any machines that require mental focus.
