Reglan (Metoclopramide) is used to treat the symptoms of diabetic gastroparesis. Reglan increases the movement of contractions of the stomach and intestines. Diabetic gastroparesis is a condition in which the stomach does not contract. Reglan is also used to prevent the nausea and vomiting that may occur after treatment with anticancer medicines.
Like any other medicine, Reglan has side effects. So the risk of taking medicine must be weighted against the benefit of the medicine. This theory should apply to any medicine.
You should tell your doctor about all prescription, herbal medications you are taking before beginning treatment with Reglan.
Also tell him if you have ever had any unusual or allergic reaction to metoclopramide, procaine, or procainamide.
Also tell if you have kideney disease,parkinson's disease, diabetes, abdominal or stomach bleeding, asthma, high blood pressure, heart disease.
Also tell your doctor if you are allergic to any other substances, such as foods, preservatives, or dyes.
Reglan may cause mild to severe depression. If you have suffered from depression, you should discuss with your doctor before going for the medication.
In February 2009, the FDA mandated that Reglan labels display “black-box” warnings about the risks associated with its consumption.
