Metoclopramide 5 mg Troche is a specialized prescription medication, primarily used to manage and treat various gastrointestinal conditions. These include gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), diabetic gastroparesis, and the nausea and vomiting often associated with chemotherapy treatments.

This particular formulation of Metoclopramide is presented in a troche form. A troche is a square-shaped solid dosage form designed to dissolve slowly in the mouth. The medication is delivered through absorption via the oral mucosa, allowing for targeted local or systemic effects. This form is not only easy to take but can also be consumed with or without food, making it a convenient option for many patients.

However, it is crucial to take this medication as directed by your healthcare provider and adhere to all instructions provided on the label.

How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

Metoclopramide 5 mg Troche is a specialized medication formulated to address various gastrointestinal conditions such as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), gastroparesis, and symptoms of nausea and vomiting. Its primary function is to enhance the movement of the stomach and intestines, thereby alleviating the discomfort associated with these conditions.

The unique troche form of metoclopramide is a square-shaped solid dosage form designed to dissolve slowly in the mouth. Unlike traditional tablets, this troche is placed under the tongue, where it gradually dissolves, allowing the medication to be absorbed directly through the oral mucosa into the bloodstream. This method of administration not only ensures a targeted local or systemic effect but also provides faster relief from symptoms.

When used as directed, Metoclopramide 5 mg Troche can effectively reduce the symptoms of GERD, gastroparesis, and nausea and vomiting. It is crucial to adhere to the instructions provided by your healthcare provider or pharmacist when taking this medication. If you have any queries or concerns about the administration or effects of Metoclopramide 5 mg Troche, please do not hesitate to contact us at Bayview Pharmacy.

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.
