- Helps treat gastric disorders
What does Metoclopramide Tablet do?
Metoclopramide works by stimulating the motility of the upper gastrointestinal tract without the stimulation of pancreatic, biliary, or gastric secretions. While the mode of action is unclear, it is thought to sensitize tissue to acetylcholine action. Metoclopramide's effect on motility does not depend on intact vagal innervation, but can be abolished using anticholinergic medications.
