Formula Information

A small arrow pointing down

Metoclopramide 25 mg Suppository is a prescription medication specifically designed to treat a range of gastrointestinal conditions. These conditions include nausea, vomiting, and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). The medication functions by enhancing the movement of the stomach and intestines, which in turn helps to alleviate the symptoms associated with these conditions.

The suppository is a solid dosage form that is inserted into the rectum, where it dissolves or melts to release the medication. This allows for local or systemic absorption of the drug. Metoclopramide suppositories are available in a 25 mg strength, providing a potent dose to effectively treat the symptoms of the aforementioned conditions.

Additionally, they can be used to treat GERD, a condition characterized by the backflow of stomach acid into the esophagus, leading to heartburn and other symptoms.

While Metoclopramide suppositories are generally well tolerated, they may cause side effects such as drowsiness, headache, and dizziness. It is crucial to follow the instructions provided by your healthcare provider or pharmacist when using this medication. If you have any questions or concerns about the use of Metoclopramide 25 mg Suppository, please do not hesitate to reach out to your healthcare provider or pharmacist for further guidance.

How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

Metoclopramide 25 mg Suppository is a specialized medication designed to alleviate nausea, vomiting, and other gastrointestinal symptoms associated with specific conditions. This medication functions by inhibiting the action of a brain chemical known as dopamine, which in turn helps to mitigate feelings of nausea and vomiting. The suppository form of metoclopramide is designed for rectal insertion, where it dissolves or melts, allowing the medication to be absorbed into the bloodstream and transported to the brain.

It is also beneficial in managing symptoms of gastroparesis such as bloating, abdominal discomfort, and the sensation of fullness after consuming only a small quantity of food.

Metoclopramide suppositories are typically prescribed for short-term treatment of nausea and vomiting, and their use should not exceed 5 days. It is crucial to adhere to the instructions provided by your healthcare provider or pharmacist when using this medication. If you have any queries or concerns about the usage of metoclopramide suppositories, it is recommended to consult with your healthcare provider or pharmacist for further guidance.

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.
