Metoclopramide--a review.
Metoclopramide has wide applications in both clinical and experimental medicine. It is useful in the management of gastro-oesophageal reflux and gastric stasis. It is being used increasingly in the management of nausea and vomiting, and at high doses will significantly relieve the emesis that is induced by cytotoxic agents. Metoclopramide also has an important place in the investigation of the role of dopamine in physiological and pathological processes.
