What does it do?

Metoclopramide is a drug used to improve the motility of the gastrointestinal tract, primarily for the prevention of dyspepsia and vomiting. This ingredient helps facilitate digestion by promoting gastric emptying.

Metoclopramide stimulates the muscles of the stomach and intestines to help food pass through the digestive tract more quickly. It also acts on the vomiting center in the brain to suppress vomiting.
