Metoclopramide HCl - Mechanism of Action

Metoclopramide prescription medication is indicated for the treatment of specific cases of gastroesophageal reflux and relief of symptoms in recurrent diabetic gastroparesis. Metoclopramide hydrochloride (metoclopramide HCl) is a dopamine-2 receptor antagonist that is soluble in water and is found as a white crystalline, odorless substance. Metoclopramide medication stimulates the upper gastrointestinal tract and is thought to make tissues more sensitive to acetylcholine. Metoclopramide also increases lower esophageal sphincter pressure and is thought to increase duodenal and jejunal peristaltic activity. Some anecdotal reports suggest that metoclopramide tablets, like prochlorperazine, might be useful in treating migraine symptoms but there is no official indication for that use.

Metoclopramide achieves peak plasma concentrations within two hours of an oral dose and the mean elimination half life is roughly six hours. Some metoclopramide is bound to proteins in the plasma and metabolism occurs in the liver. The majority of metoclopramide is excreted in the urine.

Additionally, insurance plans may also cover part or all of the cost of the medication. Metoclopramide coupons may also be available from the manufacturer or online.
