Overview
Sunward Metoclopramide 10mg Tablet contains metoclopramide hydrochloride 10mg, a dopamine D2-receptor antagonist used to relieve nausea and vomiting, and to help with certain digestive symptoms such as feeling full quickly, bloating, or heartburn related to delayed stomach emptying.
Metoclopramide works both centrally, by blocking dopamine receptors in the brain’s vomiting centre to reduce nausea, and peripherally, by increasing the tone and contractions of the stomach and upper intestine, which speeds up gastric emptying.
How it Works
By blocking dopamine D2 receptors in the chemoreceptor trigger zone of the brain, metoclopramide reduces the sensation of nausea, while its action on the gastrointestinal tract increases the strength and coordination of stomach contractions, promoting faster emptying of stomach contents into the small intestine.
Directions for Use
Take Sunward Metoclopramide 10mg Tablet about 30 minutes before meals, as directed by your doctor. If using the syrup, measure the dose accurately with the measuring device provided. Do not use this medicine for longer than your doctor has advised.
Dosage
The usual adult dose is 10mg up to three times daily, taken for the shortest duration needed to control symptoms, generally not exceeding 5 days, due to the risk of neurological side effects with prolonged use. Your doctor will confirm the appropriate dose based on your body weight and condition, especially in children and the elderly.
