About this item
DESCRIPTION:

Metoclopramide increases stomach or intestinal movement or contraction. It is used to treat nausea, vomiting, and reflux disease.

Key Benefits:

  • Metoclopramide stimulates upper gastrointestinal tract motility without stimulating gastric, biliary, or pancreatic secretions.
  • Although the mode of action is unknown, Metoclopramide is believed to sensitize the tissue to the action of Acetylcholine.
  • The effect of this drug on motility is not dependent upon intact vagal innervation. It can be eliminated with anticholinergic drugs.

    Formulated For: Intended for cats and dogs.
