Overview
Noripharma Metoclopramide 10mg Tablet contains metoclopramide 10mg, a dopamine antagonist used as an antiemetic (to relieve nausea and vomiting) and as a prokinetic agent to help food move more quickly through the stomach.
Metoclopramide works by blocking dopamine receptors in the brain’s vomiting centre, reducing the sensation of nausea, and by also blocking dopamine receptors in the gut, which increases muscle contractions in the stomach and upper intestine to speed up gastric emptying.
How it Works
Metoclopramide blocks dopamine D2 receptors in the chemoreceptor trigger zone of the brain, which reduces the signal that causes the sensation of nausea and the urge to vomit. In the gut, it also blocks dopamine receptors that normally slow movement, which increases the strength and coordination of stomach contractions and speeds up the emptying of stomach contents into the intestine.
Directions for Use
Take Noripharma Metoclopramide 10mg Tablet about 30 minutes before meals, and at bedtime if prescribed that way, swallowing the tablet with a glass of water. Use this medicine only for the duration prescribed by your doctor and do not continue it for symptom control beyond the recommended short course without medical review.
Dosage
The usual adult dose of Noripharma Metoclopramide 10mg Tablet is one tablet up to three times daily, usually taken before meals and, if needed, at bedtime, for a short course as directed by your doctor. In line with current safety guidance, treatment is generally limited to the shortest period needed, usually not more than around 5 days, due to the risk of movement-related side effects with longer use.
