How Metocol works
Metocol is a prokinetic. It works on the region in the brain that controls vomiting. It also acts on the upper digestive tract to increase the movement of the stomach and intestines, allowing food to move more easily through the stomach.
What if you forget to take Metocol?
If you miss a dose of Metocol, take it as soon as possible. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular schedule. Do not double the dose.

- Avoid consuming alcohol when taking Metocol as it may cause excessive drowsiness.

Chemotherapy-Induced Nausea & Vomiting
1-2 mg/kg IV (infused over at least 15 minutes) 30 minutes before chemotherapy; repeat q2-4hr; pretreatment with diphenhydramine decreases risk of extrapyramidal adverse effects
Renal Dose
Renal impairment: CrCl <40 mL/min, decrease dose by 50%; CrCl <10 mL/min, decrease dose by 75%
Contraindication
GI haemorrhage, mechanical obstruction or GI perforation; confirmed or suspected pheochromocytoma; history of neuroleptic or metoclopramide-induced tardive dyskinesia; epilepsy, Parkinson's disease; history of methaemoglobinaemia w/ metoclopramide or of NADH cytochrome-b5 deficiency. Concomitant use w/ levodopa or dopaminergic agonists.
Mode of Action
Metoclopramide enhances the motility of the upper GI tract and increases gastric emptying without affecting gastric, biliary or pancreatic secretions. It increases duodenal peristalsis which decreases intestinal transit time, and increases lower oesophageal sphincter tone. It is also a potent central dopamine-receptor antagonist and may also have serotonin-receptor (5-HT3) antagonist properties.
Precaution
Patients w/ underlying neurological conditions, cardiac conduction disturbances, uncorrected electrolyte imbalance, bradycardia. Children, elderly. Renal or hepatic impairment, porphyria, epilepsy, Parkinson's disease, history of depression. Ability to drive or operate machineries may be impaired. Pregnancy and lactation. Monitor patients on prolonged therapy. Increased risk of tardive dyskinesia in patients on prolonged or high-dose treatment.
Lactation: Drug crosses into breast milk; use caution; concern may be warranted according to American Academy of Pediatrics

Interaction
Increased sedative effects with CNS depressants. GI effects antagonised by antimuscarinics and opioids. Reduces absorption of digoxin. Increases absorption of ciclosporin, levodopa, aspirin, paracetamol. Interferes with hypoprolactinaemic effect of bromocriptine. Inhibits serum cholinesterase and prolongs neuromuscular blockade produced by suxamethonium and mivacurium.
Potentially Fatal: Serotonin syndrome with sertraline (SSRI).
