Reglan Solution

Generic Name: Metoclopramide Injection Solution (meht-oh-KLOE-pra-mide)
Brand Name: Reglan

Reglan Solution is used for:

Treating symptoms associated with a certain digestive problem in diabetic patients (diabetic gastroparesis) and preventing nausea and vomiting following surgery or administration of certain types of cancer chemotherapy. It is also used during certain medical procedures (eg, small bowel intubation, X-ray of the stomach or bowel). It may also be used for other conditions as determined by your doctor.

Reglan Solution is a gastrointestinal stimulant and anti-nauseant. It works by increasing the movement of the stomach and intestines to help move food and acid out of the stomach more quickly. It also works in certain areas in the brain to decrease nausea.

Do NOT use Reglan Solution if:

you are allergic to any ingredient in Reglan Solution
you have seizures (eg, epilepsy); bleeding, blockage, or perforation in your stomach or intestines; or tumors on your adrenal gland (pheochromocytoma)

you are taking medicines, such as phenothiazines (eg, chlorpromazine) that may cause extrapyramidal reactions (abnormal, involuntary muscle movements of the head, neck, or limbs)

Contact your doctor or health care provider right away if any of these apply to you.
