If you have gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) or diabetic gastroparesis, your healthcare provider may prescribe metoclopramide (Reglan®) to control your symptoms. The medication works for these conditions by helping food move through the stomach more quickly and preventing the stomach contents from refluxing back up the esophagus. Potential side effects of the drug include drowsiness, fatigue, and restlessness. Metoclopramide, which is generally taken four times daily, comes in liquid, tablet, and injection form.
