Metoclopramide (Reglan^®) is a medication often prescribed to treat diabetic gastroparesis and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). It should only be used short-term and is available in several different forms, including an oral solution, tablets, and an injection. Metoclopramide helps food move through the stomach more quickly (helping with diabetic gastroparesis) and prevents the stomach contents from refluxing back up the esophagus (helping with GERD). Potential side effects include restlessness, fatigue, and breast leakage.
