Reglan Product Description

Drug Uses

Reglan is an antiemetic medicine, used to control nausea and vomiting in adult patients with stomach and esophageal problems. Antiemetic Reglan relieves in many patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease any heartburn symptoms during the day or after eating. Clinical studies have demonstrated that in addition to reduced intragastric acidity, Reglan:

provides healing of esophageal ulcers and erosions

provides rapid gastric emptying and gastrointestinal transit

improves and maintains the normal intestinal peristalsis

Due to these effects, Reglan can be used to treat diabetic gastroparesis (delayed gastric emptying), which diabetics often suffer from.

A recommended dose of Reglan is 20 to 60 mg per day, divided into 4 doses. The duration of antiemetic therapy with Reglan should not exceed 12 weeks.
