Metoclopramide is a dopamine D2 receptor antagonist in the central nervous system
The exact mechanism of action of metoclopramide in the treatment of gastroesophageal reflux and acute and recurrent diabetic gastroparesis has not been fully established
severe nervous system reaction very stiff (rigid) muscles, high fever, sweating, confusion, fast or uneven heartbeats, tremors, feeling like you might pass out
Metoclopramide causes antiemetic effects by inhibiting dopamine D2 and serotonin 5-HT3 receptors in the chemoreceptor trigger
Mechanism of Action Metoclopramide works by antagonizing central and peripheral dopamine-two receptors (D2) in the medullary
For evaluating the therapeutic value of metoclopramide for the treatment of GERD, the effect of oral administration need to be studied
Migraine In migraine headaches, metoclopramide may be used in combination with paracetamol (acetaminophen) or in combination with aspirin
Mechanism of Action: Metoclopramide is a dopamine D2 receptor antagonist in the central nervous system
Mechanism Of Action: Metoclopramide acts through both dopaminergic and serotonergic receptors (see Fig
And also, itopride was identified to have equivalent efficacy with cisapride in functional dyspepsia
Metoclopramide is an oral prokinetic and antiemetic agent used in the therapy of gastroesophageal reflux disease, gastroparesis and severe or chemotherapy induced nausea
Gastroesophageal reflux disease ( GERD) includes all consequences of reflux of acid or other irritants from the stomach into the esophagus
Mechanism of Action: The primary prokinetic mechanism is by acting as a D2 dopamine receptor antagonist
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a chronic gastrointestinal disorder characterized by the regurgitation of gastric contents into the esophagus

Antihistamines must cross the blood-brain barrier to affect the central nervous system

Dimenhydrinate, also known as B-dimethylaminoethyl benzohydrol ether 8-chlorotheophyllinate, is indicated to prevent nausea, vomiting, and dizziness caused by motion sickness
These dystonic effects are more common in the young (especially girls and young women) and the very old; they usually occur shortly after starting treatment with metoclopramide and subside Prokinetic agents, such as metoclopramide, domperidone, trimebutine, cisapride, itopride, prucalopride and mosapride, can stimulate digestive tract motility via different mechanisms of action
Levosulpiride, a DA2 antagonist in development, has been shown to accelerate gastric emptying in diabetics and to improve glycemic control over a 6-month period
