Description

Metoclopramide Injection

Healthy Inc is a specialized global supplier and exporter of gastrointestinal motility agents. We provide high-purity Metoclopramide Hydrochloride Injection (10 mg / 2 ml), manufactured in WHO–GMP certified sterile facilities. This “Gut Motility” specialist is a mandatory export to surgical wards, oncology units, and government health ministries in Africa, LATAM, and Southeast Asia, serving as the first-line defense against post-operative nausea, chemotherapy-induced vomiting, and diabetic gastroparesis.


Product Overview

This formulation contains Metoclopramide Hydrochloride, a dopamine receptor antagonist with dual anti-emetic and prokinetic properties.

The “Dual-Action” Specialist:

  • Mechanism (The Dopamine Blocker):
    • Central Effect: It blocks Dopamine (D2) receptors in the Chemoreceptor Trigger Zone (CTZ) of the brainstem, effectively shutting down the signal for nausea and vomiting.
    • Peripheral Effect (Prokinetic): It sensitizes tissues to Acetylcholine, increasing the tone of the lower esophageal sphincter and stimulating gastric contractions. This accelerates gastric emptying and prevents acid reflux.
  • Surgical Utility: Essential for preventing aspiration pneumonitis (Mendelson’s Syndrome) during emergency anesthesia by emptying the stomach.
  • Migraine Support: Used as an adjunct in acute migraine attacks to improve the absorption of analgesics and stop nausea.

Manufacturing Authority

Marketed and Distributed by Healthy Inc from WHO-GMP & ISO 9001:2015 certified units.

  • Photostability: Metoclopramide is highly sensitive to light. Our manufacturing process uses amber glass or UV-blocking clear glass and ensures packaging is done under controlled lighting to prevent potency loss.
  • Sterile Filtration: Produced using terminal sterilization or aseptic filtration to ensure pyrogen-free status, critical for IV administration in chemotherapy patients.

Therapeutic Indications (Human Use)

Indicated for the prevention and treatment of nausea and vomiting:

  • Post-Operative Nausea & Vomiting (PONV): Prophylaxis and treatment.
  • Chemotherapy-Induced Nausea: For highly emetogenic drugs (like Cisplatin).
  • Diabetic Gastroparesis: To relieve symptoms of acute and recurrent gastric stasis.
  • Radiologic Examination: To facilitate small bowel intubation.
  • GERD: Short-term treatment of symptomatic gastroesophageal reflux.

Dosage & Administration

Recommended Dosage (Strictly as per Physician):

  • Route: Intravenous (IV) or Intramuscular (IM).
  • Adults: 10 mg (one ampoule) IV or IM up to 3 times daily.
  • IV Administration: Inject slowly over at least 1 to 2 minutes. Rapid injection can cause intense anxiety (“impending doom”) and restlessness.
  • Pediatrics: Strictly weight-based (0.1 to 0.15 mg/kg). Avoid in children < 1 year due to EPS risk.

Safety Warnings (CRITICAL):

  • Extrapyramidal Symptoms (EPS): Can cause acute dystonia (muscle spasms, locked jaw, oculogyric crisis), especially in young adults and children. Treat with Diphenhydramine.
  • Tardive Dyskinesia: Long-term use (>12 weeks) can cause irreversible involuntary movements. Do not use for chronic treatment.
  • Intestinal Obstruction: CONTRAINDICATED in patients with bowel obstruction or perforation (prokinetic effect can cause rupture).
