Overview
Axcel Metoclopramide 10mg Tablet contains metoclopramide 10mg, a medicine used to relieve nausea and vomiting and to help food move through the stomach more quickly, including in conditions such as gastro-oesophageal reflux disease and diabetic gastroparesis (delayed stomach emptying).
Metoclopramide works by blocking dopamine receptors in the brain’s vomiting centre, reducing the sensation of nausea, while also increasing the strength and speed of stomach and upper intestine contractions to move food along more efficiently.
How it Works
Metoclopramide blocks dopamine D2 receptors in the chemoreceptor trigger zone of the brain, which produces its antiemetic (anti-nausea) effect, and also enhances the release of acetylcholine in the gastrointestinal tract, increasing gut motility and the tone of the lower oesophageal sphincter.

Dosage
The usual adult dose of Axcel Metoclopramide 10mg Tablet is 10mg up to three times daily, as prescribed by your doctor. Treatment is generally limited to a short period, usually no more than 5 days, due to the risk of movement-related side effects with longer use.
