Reglan

Active Ingredient: Metoclopramide

Reglan is used to treat heartburn caused by gastroesophageal reflux and to treat gastroparesis in diabetic patients.

General information
Reglan is used to treat certain conditions of the stomach and intestines. Metoclopramide is used as a short-term treatment (4 to 12 weeks) for persistent heartburn when the usual medicines do not work well enough. It is used mostly for heartburn that occurs after a meal or during the daytime. Treating persistent heartburn can decrease the damage done by stomach acid to the swallowing tube (esophagus) and help healing. It is also used in diabetic patients who have poor emptying of their stomachs (gastroparesis). Metoclopramide works by blocking a natural substance (dopamine). It speeds up stomach emptying and movement of the upper intestines.
Directions
Take Reglan exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Reglan is usually taken for only 4 to 12 weeks. Take Reglan 30 minutes before eating and at bedtime, usually 4 times daily. Dosage is based on your weight, medical condition, and response to treatment. To treat diabetic gastroparesis, this medication is usually taken for 2 to 8 weeks until your gut is working well.
