Metoclopramide is a drug used to treat indigestion and vomiting. It relieves stomach upset by promoting gastrointestinal motility. In Hong Kong, metopramine is commonly used to relieve symptoms of motion sickness, such as motion sickness or seasickness. This medicine is usually taken by mouth, but may also be given by injection. When using metopramine, you should follow your doctor's advice and medication instructions. Dosage depends on the severity of the condition and individual circumstances and should not exceed what your doctor recommends. Possible side effects include drowsiness, headache, diarrhea, and muscle stiffness. If serious side effects or allergic reactions occur, seek medical attention immediately. Avoid concurrent use with other medications, especially antipsychotics. Avoid drinking alcohol while using metopramine. If you have any questions or discomfort, you should consult your doctor or pharmacist promptly.
Instructions:
- Usually taken orally each time, it is recommended to take it 30 minutes before meals to facilitate absorption.
- If long-term use is required, please follow your physician's advice and do not increase or decrease the dosage or stop taking the medication on your own.
- Avoid taking it at the same time with antacids containing aluminum and magnesium, which may affect the efficacy of the medicine.
Dosage Guidelines:
- Adults: Starting dose is 10 mg daily divided into 2 to 4 divided doses. Depending on the severity of the condition, the physician may adjust the dosage to 40 mg per day.
- Children: The dosage needs to be adjusted according to body weight, usually 0.1 to 0.15 mg per kilogram of body weight, taken in 2 to 4 divided doses daily.
- Elderly people: It is recommended that the starting dose be lower, and the physician will adjust it according to the physical condition.

Metoclopramide is a commonly used drug that is often used to treat gastrointestinal problems such as vomiting and abdominal pain. However, its side effects include dizziness, dry throat, vomiting, diarrhea and muscle twitching. Serious side effects that some people may also experience include depression, anxiety, coma, rapid heartbeat, and increased blood pressure. If any of these side effects occur, you should stop taking the medication immediately and seek medical advice. Remember, everyone's body reacts differently, so if you feel any discomfort, you should talk to your doctor first.
METOCLOPRAMIDE is a drug used to treat gastrointestinal problems, but it is contraindicated in some cases. First, METOCLOPRAMIDE should be avoided in those with a history of allergies as it may cause a serious allergic reaction. Additionally, METOCLOPRAMIDE should be contraindicated in patients with hemorrhagic enteritis, obstructive intestinal disease, or bowel obstruction, as it may worsen the symptoms of these conditions. METOCLOPRAMIDE should also be used with caution in people at risk for epilepsy as it may cause seizures. Additionally, women who are pregnant or breastfeeding should avoid using METOCLOPRAMIDE because its effects on the fetus or infant are unknown. In summary, patients should carefully follow their doctor's advice when using METOCLOPRAMIDE and stop use immediately and seek help from their doctor if they experience any discomfort.

Pregnant women should use metopramide, a medicine used to treat nausea and vomiting, with caution. During pregnancy, pregnant women should talk to their doctor about the risks and benefits of using this medication. Metoprolamide can be excreted into the baby's body through breast milk, so its use should be avoided during breastfeeding. At the same time, use during pregnancy may cause certain risks to the fetus, especially in the early stages of pregnancy. If you are pregnant or plan to become pregnant, tell your doctor to ensure appropriate treatment options are chosen. Follow the doctor's advice carefully and do not change the medication method or dosage on your own to avoid adverse effects on yourself and your fetus. If you have any questions or concerns, seek help from your doctor immediately.
