Reglan

Reglan (metoclopramide) is a medication primarily used to treat nausea and vomiting, as well as to facilitate gastric emptying in patients with gastroparesis. It is particularly effective for managing nausea related to chemotherapy, postoperative recovery, or conditions affecting the stomach. Metoclopramide acts as a prokinetic agent and antiemetic, enhancing gastrointestinal motility and blocking dopamine receptors in the brain that trigger nausea.
