Metoclopramide 2 mg/0.1 ml Topical Cream (Vet) is a specially compounded medication designed to treat a range of gastrointestinal conditions in animals. These conditions include Gastric Stasis, Gastric Hypomotility, Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease, Dysphagia, and Vomiting. The formulation is a semisolid preparation that is dispensed via a pump mechanism for easy and controlled application on the skin.

The active ingredient, Metoclopramide, is a dopamine antagonist that works by blocking the action of dopamine in the gastrointestinal tract.

Drug Interactions

A small arrow pointing down

Metoclopramide 2 mg/0.1 ml Topical Cream (Vet) is a compounded formulation specifically designed for veterinary use. It is primarily indicated for the treatment of Gastric Stasis, Gastric Hypomotility, Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease, Dysphagia, and Vomiting in animals. The active ingredient, Metoclopramide, works by increasing the rate of gastric emptying and decreasing the amount of acid produced in the stomach. It also improves the coordination of the muscles of the gastrointestinal tract, thereby helping to alleviate symptoms of nausea and vomiting associated with these conditions.

It is crucial to note that Metoclopramide should not be used in patients with known hypersensitivity to the drug or any of its components. Special care should be taken when administering Metoclopramide to animals with renal or hepatic impairment, as well as to pregnant or lactating animals. The formulation is dispensed in a pump mechanism, which allows for convenient and controlled application on the skin for localized treatment or absorption of the active ingredients.

As with any medication, it is important to use Metoclopramide 2 mg/0.1 ml Topical Cream (Vet) under the guidance of a qualified veterinary professional. If you have any questions or concerns about the use of Metoclopramide 2 mg/0.1 ml Topical Cream (Vet) for the treatment of Gastric Stasis, Gastric Hypomotility, Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease, Dysphagia, and Vomiting, please consult with a veterinary professional.

How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

Metoclopramide 2 mg/0.1 ml Topical Cream (Vet) is a semisolid preparation designed for convenient and controlled application on the skin. It is primarily used in the treatment of various gastrointestinal conditions in animals, including Gastric Stasis, Gastric Hypomotility, Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease, Dysphagia, and Vomiting. The cream is applied directly to the affected area, where it is absorbed through the skin to reach the gastrointestinal tract quickly and effectively.

The active ingredient, Metoclopramide, is a dopamine antagonist. This means it works by blocking the action of dopamine in the body, which in turn increases the motility of the gastrointestinal tract. This increased motility helps to alleviate the symptoms associated with the aforementioned conditions. The cream is typically applied twice daily, and the effects can usually be observed within a few days of consistent use.

Metoclopramide 2 mg/0.1 ml Topical Cream (Vet) is recognized as a appropriate treatment for Gastric Stasis, Gastric Hypomotility, Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease, Dysphagia, and Vomiting. However, it is crucial to follow the instructions provided by your veterinarian when using this medication. Monitoring your pet for any signs of adverse reactions, such as vomiting, diarrhea, or excessive salivation, is also important. If you notice any of these symptoms or have any questions or concerns about using this medication, it is recommended to consult with your veterinarian immediately.

Enter the formula as a compound

Compounded preparations have no NDC, so this formula will not appear in your EHR's drug search. Use your system's compound, non-formulary, or free-text prescription entry and name the preparation exactly as written in step 3. If your EHR forces you to pick a listed drug, pick the closest entry for the active ingredient and put the full formula in the prescription body (the Sig or directions field), not in Notes to Pharmacy.

Compounded preparations have no NDC and will not appear in your drug search. For EPCS to validate, select a drug entry your EHR recognizes as controlled, usually the bulk powder entry for the active ingredient (for example Ketamine (bulk) powder, not a branded product), then put the full formula from step 3 in the prescription body. A free-text entry that does not validate as controlled will be rejected by your EPCS module.
