Metoclopramide (Reglan)

This medication works to accelerate the muscle contractions located in the upper area of your digestive tract. The drug's high speed helps your stomach acid quickly empty into your upper intestines and rid your body of any heartburn that you might feel after dinner or large meals. Effectively treating and removing heartburn helps reduce damage stomach acid may cause your esophagus and the rest of your body.

Since this medication provides such strong healing results, doctors recommend short-term use. The suggested length is usually around four to 12 weeks, depending on factors like age, preexisting medical conditions, and severity of your condition. It's super easy to learn your dosage suggestions. All you need to do is take our medical assessment so the doctors can prescribe you a dosage according to your specific needs.

Most doctors may suggest taking Metoclopramide by mouth 30 minutes before each of your meals and right before going to bed every night. This often adds up to around four times a day. That amount can also vary depending on what the doctor suggests. Remove the tablet from your blister pack right before you're about to take it, using dry hands. Put it right on your tongue and let it dissolve in your mouth and mix with your saliva before swallowing it.

You can easily receive a prescription for Metoclopramide after a virtual consultation with one of our doctors and learning if it's right for you and your symptoms. Once you finish your medical assessment, the doctor will prescribe Metoclopramide if they believe it's the best option for you. You can purchase it through Nurx or have the doctor call it into a local pharmacy. Our doctors at Nurx will only prescribe this medication if you're experiencing symptoms associated with migraines.

Some insurance companies cover Metoclopramide, while others don't. It's more likely that Metoclopramide is covered and is cheaper than the name-brand version of this drug. This medication's cost often varies based on how much of the dosage you're prescribed.

It's important to only take this medication if a doctor prescribes it. You should also be sure to only take the dosage amount they recommend. If you take too much of this medication, you may experience a serious movement disorder known as tardive dyskinesia. This is also why many doctors recommend only taking Metoclopramide for approximately four to 12 weeks. Your doctor should tell you exactly how long to take this medication.

Before you begin taking Metoclopramide, let the doctor know if you have any allergies, as certain ones can negatively interact with this medication. You should also let them know if you have any current medical conditions.

Common medical conditions to alert your doctor of include a history of epilepsy or seizures, muscle movement problems, tardive dyskinesia, intestinal or stomach issues, an adrenal gland tumor, breast cancer, Parkinson's disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, congestive heart failure, depression, or diabetes.

While there's a long list of possible adverse side effects you can experience when taking Metoclopramide, it's important to remember that there are many positive side effects to this drug, which include eliminating migraine symptoms, reducing heartburn, and reducing your stomach acid. Many of the potentially negative side effects are very rare and less likely to affect you.

Common side effects include dizziness, sleeping problems, diarrhea, headache, and drowsiness. More serious side effects are decreased sexual ability, abnormal breast milk production, muscle spasms, shaking, swelling of your hands and feet, and mood changes like confusion, depression, or thoughts of suicide. A rare and more serious condition this medication may cause is neuroleptic malignant syndrome, which causes muscle stiffness, fever, sweating, severe confusion, and a fast or irregular heartbeat.

If you're experiencing any of these side effects, get medical help as soon as possible. While these side effects sound concerning, remember that many of them are rare and are most likely treatable by a doctor, especially if you seek medical assistance right away.
