REGLAN  (METOCLOPRAMIDE HYDROCHLORIDE):  This medication 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. Metoclopramide is also used in diabetic patients who have poor emptying of their stomachs (gastroparesis). Treating gastroparesis can decrease symptoms of nausea, vomiting, and stomach/abdominal fullness. Metoclopramide works by blocking a natural substance (dopamine). It speeds up stomach emptying and movement of the upper intestines. This drug is not recommended for use in children due to an increased risk of serious side effects (such as muscle spasms/uncontrolled muscle movements). Ask the doctor or pharmacist for details.    (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)

 5  Migraine Not sure if dizzy feeling is from the Reglan Neurologist prescribed Reglan along with Frova to treat symptoms of a migraine. The Reglan does seem to constipate me some - which is a welcome change from my IBS type of upset stomach. My doctor said some of her patients take Reglan if they have IBS - even without a headache. That is what I have been doing - if I get too constipated I just skip a dose or two. I need to ask more questions about its long-term use but overall am VERY pleased that this med does what it is supposed to and has helped me very much. F 41 4 weeks

 3  gastro paresis Wrything pain in arms and occasional muscle twitching. Also, slight nystagmus when I was taking 10mg qid. Now, 10mg prn I have always found Reglan to be good for those moment when food just wont digest. While I do not take it regularly any longer do to side effects I find when I need it, it works. It also helps with occasional nausea. M 29 1 years

 5  residual effects of NSAID stomach Dizzy, cloudy when taking recommended dose of 40 mg per day works like a dream. The closest thing to a wonder drug I've ever experienced. Found that half the usual dose (20 mg verses 40 mg per day) gives results. M 52 4 months
