Shinepharm Metoclopramide Injection 10mg/2ml x10 Ampoules

Shinepharm Metoclopramide Injection is a clinical-grade antiemetic and gastroprokinetic medication. Each 2ml ampoule contains 10mg of Metoclopramide Hydrochloride, designed for rapid relief from nausea and vomiting. It is widely used in hospital settings across Nigeria for patients who cannot take oral medications.

Uses of Metoclopramide Injection

This medication is primarily indicated for:

• Nausea and Vomiting Relief: Effectively manages symptoms caused by surgery (post-operative), chemotherapy, or radiation therapy.
• Acute Migraine Management: Often used alongside pain relief to stop nausea during migraine attacks.
• Gastroparesis & Motility: Stimulates stomach and upper intestinal movement, helping patients with delayed gastric emptying (common in diabetes).
• Diagnostic Support: Helps clear the stomach before certain medical procedures or diagnostic tests.

Clinical Action and Relief

Metoclopramide works by blocking dopamine receptors in the brain's "vomiting center" while simultaneously increasing the tone and motility of the upper gastrointestinal tract. This dual action provides both "sharp relief" from the sensation of sickness and helps the physical movement of stomach contents.
