Treatment Summary
Metoclopramide is a medication used to treat nausea and vomiting caused by diabetic gastroparesis, a condition that affects the stomach's ability to empty. It can also be used to treat gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) or prevent nausea or vomiting caused by chemotherapy or certain medical procedures. Metoclopramide is available as an oral tablet or liquid solution and can be given intravenously. It was approved by the FDA in 1980 and works by blocking dopamine receptors in the body, without increasing gastric acid secretion.

Effectiveness
How Gimoti Affects Patients
Metoclopramide helps food move through the stomach by loosening the lower esophageal sphincter (LES). It can also reduce nausea and vomiting. Metoclopramide also helps the stomach to move food without increasing bile, stomach acid, or pancreatic secretions. Taking this drug for more than twelve weeks can cause tardive dyskinesia, dystonia, and akathisia, so it should not be taken for long periods of time.
How Gimoti works in the body
Metoclopramide works to prevent nausea and vomiting by blocking dopamine and serotonin receptors in your brain's chemoreceptor trigger zone. It also helps move food through your digestive system faster by blocking certain receptors and increasing the release of acetylcholine, which helps contract your stomach muscles. Finally, it blocks a type of receptor that dopamine binds to, causing relaxation in your digestive system.
When to interrupt dosage
The prescribed dosage of Gimoti is dependent upon the diagnosed affliction, including Nausea, Intubation (procedure) and Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD). The measure of dosage changes, depending on the method of delivery (e.g. Spray or Tablet, orally disintegrating) featured in the following table.

Gimoti Toxicity & Overdose Risk
The maximum toxic dose of metoclopramide in rats has been found to be 750mg/kg. Symptoms of an overdose include drowsiness, confusion, and muscular disorders. Medications typically used to treat Parkinson's disease or anticholinergic drugs may alleviate these muscular symptoms, which usually disappear within 24 hours. Infants who overdose on the oral solution of metoclopramide often experience seizures, muscular disorders, and lethargy. Methemoglobinemia has been reported in premature and full-term babies after a metoclopramide overdose and can be treated with intravenous methylene blue, though this

Does metoclopramide make you drowsy?
"Some potential side effects of metoclopramide are drowsiness and excessive tiredness. If you experience either of these symptoms, be sure to let your doctor know."
Answered by AI
What is Gimoti used for?
"A person with diabetes may experience a complication where their stomach digestion has slowed down. This condition is called diabetic gastroparesis. Gimoti (metoclopramide) is a nasal spray that can help treat this condition. Currently, it is only available as a brand-name product and is usually more expensive than alternative medications."
Answered by AI
How does metoclopramide work?
"Metoclopramide works by blocking the communication between the CTZ and the vomiting center. This helps to reduce nausea and prevent vomiting. Metoclopramide tablets and liquid typically start working within 30 to 60 minutes."
Answered by AI
Is Gimoti available?
"You can only get GIMOTI through vitaCare Prescription Services. They will give you a call after you have sent in your prescription to set up a delivery."
