So I came down with a really odd sickness this past week. Almost the same symptoms I had when I had swine flew last year. So I went to the dr. who sent me to the U to get a whole bunch of expensive tests done because they couldn't figure it out. Well they never figured it out but gave me a ton of meds to take. I had a really bad head ache so they gave me a pill for the upset stomic that would also help with head ache, it is called Metoclopramide. I always get online and look up meds i was given so I looked it up.
Metoclopramide (INN) (pronounced /ˌmɛtəˈklɒprəmaɪd/) is an antiemetic and gastroprokinetic agent. Thus it is primarily used to treat nausea and vomiting, and to facilitate gastric emptying in patients with gastroparesis. It is also a primary treatment for migraine headaches.
Side effects.
Common adverse drug reactions (ADRs) associated with metoclopramide therapy include: restlessness, drowsiness, dizziness, lassitude, and/or dystonic reactions. Infrequent ADRs include: headache, extrapyramidal effects such as oculogyric crisis, hypertension, hypotension, hyperprolactinaemia leading to galactorrhoea, diarrhoea, constipation, and/or depression. Rare but serious ADRs associated with metoclopramide therapy include: agranulocytosis, supraventricular tachycardia, hyperaldosteronism, neuroleptic malignant syndrome and/or tardive dyskinesia.[7] Dystonic reactions are usually treated with benztropine or procyclidine.
