Metoclopramide Injection

What is Metoclopramide Injection?
Metoclopramide Injection is a dopamine receptor antagonist with antiemetic and prokinetic properties. It is widely used for the prevention and treatment of nausea and vomiting, including that caused by chemotherapy, radiotherapy, surgery, and gastrointestinal disorders. In addition, it enhances gastric emptying and intestinal motility, making it useful in functional dyspepsia and gastroparesis.
