Premosan 10 mg/mL metoclopramide Ampoules 5 mg/mL

Metoclopramide is used to prevent nausea and vomiting from surgery or chemotherapy.

• • It is also used by people with diabetes who have slow emptying of their stomachs (gastroparesis).

• • Treating gastroparesis can decrease symptoms of nausea, vomiting, and stomach/abdominal fullness.

• • Metoclopramide may also be used in certain procedures where stomach emptying is needed.

• • Metoclopramide works by blocking a natural substance (dopamine) which can cause nausea and vomiting.

• • It also speeds up stomach emptying and movement of the upper intestines.

• • This drug is not recommended for use in children younger than 1 year due to an increased risk of serious side effects (such as muscle spasms/uncontrolled muscle movements).
