Metoclopramide Tablets for use with both cats and dogs, metoclopramide works to treat vomiting, nausea, reflux disease and motion sickness by enhancing their stomach's or intestine's movements or contractions. In turn, this promotes gastric emptying and gastrointestinal tract mobility. Use for pets with gastric-motility disorders, including gastrointestinal atony and gastritis. Prevent or treat chemotherapy induced vomiting..How it Works

Metoclopramide works by stimulating the motility of the upper gastrointestinal tract without the stimulation of pancreatic, biliary, or gastric secretions. While the mode of action is unclear, it is thought to sensitize tissue to acetylcholine action. Metoclopramide's effect on motility does not depend on intact vagal innervation, but can be abolished using anticholinergic medications.
