                Warnings

                Black Box Warnings

                Tardive dyskinesia

                • Metoclopramide can cause tardive dyskinesia (TD), a serious movement disorder that is often irreversible; the risk of developing TD increases with duration of treatment and total cumulative dosage
                • Discontinue treatment in patients who develop signs or symptoms of TD; symptoms may lessen or resolve after metoclopramide is stopped
                • Avoid treatment (all dosage forms and routes of administration) for >12 weeks because of the increased risk of developing TD with longer-term use

                Contraindications

                History of TD or dystonic reaction to metoclopramide

                When stimulation of GI motility might be dangerous (eg, GI hemorrhage, mechanical obstruction, perforation)

                Pheochromocytoma or other catecholamine-releasing paragangliomas

                Epilepsy

                Hypersensitivity to metoclopramide

                Cautions

                Can cause TD, a syndrome of potentially irreversible and disfiguring involuntary movements of the face or tongue, and sometimes of the trunk and/or extremities

                In addition to TD, may cause other extrapyramidal symptoms (EPSs), parkinsonian symptoms, and motor restlessness; advise patients to seek immediate medical attention if such symptoms occur and to discontinue treatment

                Depression has occurred with and without a history of depression; avoid use with a history of depression

                May produce transient increases in plasma aldosterone and increased risk for fluid retention and volume; caution in patients at risk of fluid overload (heart failure or cirrhosis); discontinue if any of these adverse reactions occur

                Mental and/or physical abilities required for the performance of hazardous tasks (eg, operating machinery, driving a motor vehicle) may be impaired

                Not recommended with moderate or severe renal or hepatic impairment, patients who are CYP2D6 poor metabolizers, or coadministration with strong CYP2D6 inhibitors; increased exposure to metoclopramide due to reduced metabolism or excretion may lead to increased adverse reactions, including TD

                Neuroleptic malignant syndrome

                • Neuroleptic malignant syndrome (NMS) has been reported in association with metoclopramide overdosage and concomitant treatment with another drug associated with NMS
                • Avoid in patients receiving other drugs associated with NMS, including typical and atypical antipsychotics
                • Management of NMS includes
                  • Immediately discontinue other drugs not essential to concurrent therapy
                  • Intensive symptomatic treatment and medical monitoring
                  • Treatment of any concomitant serious medical problems for which specific treatments are available

                Hypertension

                • May elevate blood pressure
                • Hypertensive crises also reported in patients with undiagnosed pheochromocytoma
                • Contraindicated in patients with pheochromocytoma or other catecholamine-releasing paragangliomas
                • Discontinue treatment in any patient with a rapid rise in blood pressure

                Hyperprolactinemia

                • May elevate prolactin levels
                • Hyperprolactinemia may suppress hypothalamic gonadotropin-releasing hormone and eventually may inhibit reproductive function by impairing gonadal steroidogenesis in both females and males
                • Galactorrhea, amenorrhea, gynecomastia, and impotence reported with prolactin-elevating drugs

                Drug interaction overview

                • Metoclopramide is a CYP2D6 substrate
                • Strong CYP2D6 inhibitors
                  • Not recommended
                  • Coadministration with CYP2D6 inhibitors may increase plasma concentrations of metoclopramide
                • CNS depressants
                  • Avoid use of metoclopramide intranasal or interacting drug, depending on importance of drug to patient
                  • Coadministration with CNS depressants may increase effects of CNS depression
                • Antipsychotics
                  • Avoid coadministration
                  • Coadministration with antipsychotics may enhance the frequency and severity of TD, other EPSs, and NMS
                • Monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs)
                  • Avoid coadministration
                  • Coadministration of MAOIs may increase risk of hypertension
                • Drugs that may impair GI motility
                  • Coadministration may decrease systemic absorption of metoclopramide
                  • Monitor for reduced therapeutic effect

                Pregnancy & Lactation

                Pregnancy

                Published studies do not report a consistent pattern or a consistently increased risk of adverse pregnancy-related outcomes with oral use of metoclopramide during pregnancy

                However, available data from a case report of use in pregnancy are insufficient to evaluate for a drug-associated risk of major birth defects, miscarriage, or adverse maternal or fetal outcomes

                There are potential risks to the neonate following exposure in utero to metoclopramide during delivery

                Animal data

                • No adverse developmental effects were observed with oral administration of metoclopramide to pregnant rats and rabbits at exposures about 6 and 12x the maximum recommended human dose

                Clinical considerations

                • Metoclopramide crosses the placental barrier and may cause extrapyramidal signs and methemoglobinemia in neonates with maternal administration during delivery
                • Monitor neonates for extrapyramidal signs

                Lactation

                No data available on the presence in human milk following nasal administration

                However, published data report presence in human milk in variable amounts following oral administration

                Breastfed infants exposed to metoclopramide have experienced GI adverse reactions, including intestinal discomfort and increased intestinal gas formation

                Clinical considerations

                • Monitor breastfeeding neonates because metoclopramide may cause extrapyramidal signs (eg, dystonias) and methemoglobinemia

                Pregnancy Categories

                A: Generally acceptable. Controlled studies in pregnant women show no evidence of fetal risk.

                B: May be acceptable. Either animal studies show no risk but human studies not available or animal studies showed minor risks and human studies done and showed no risk.

                C: Use with caution if benefits outweigh risks. Animal studies show risk and human studies not available or neither animal nor human studies done.

                D: Use in LIFE-THREATENING emergencies when no safer drug available. Positive evidence of human fetal risk.

                X: Do not use in pregnancy. Risks involved outweigh potential benefits. Safer alternatives exist.

                NA: Information not available.

                Pharmacology

                Mechanism of Action

                Metoclopramide stimulates motility of the upper GI tract without stimulating gastric, biliary, or pancreatic secretions

                Exact mechanism of action of metoclopramide has not been fully established

                Metoclopramide increases the tone and amplitude of gastric (especially antral) contractions, relaxes the pyloric sphincter and the duodenal bulb, and increases peristalsis of the duodenum and jejunum resulting in accelerated gastric emptying and intestinal transit

                Absorption

                Peak plasma concentration: 41 ng/mL

                Peak plasma time: 1.25 hr

                AUC: 349 ng⋅hr/mL

                Distribution

                Protein bound: ~30%

                Vd: ~3.5 L/kg

                Metabolism

                Primarily metabolized by CYP2D6, which forms monodeethylmetoclopramide (a major oxidative metabolite)

                Elimination

                Half-life: 8.1 hr

                Excretion: Urine (~85% within 72 hr; 18-20% of free metoclopramide within 36 hr)

                Pharmacogenomics

                NADH-Cytochrome b5 Reductase Deficiency

                • Metoclopramide-treated patients with NADH-cytochrome b5 reductase deficiency are at an increased risk of developing methemoglobinemia and/or sulfhemoglobinemia
                • For patients with G6PD deficiency with metoclopramide-induced methemoglobinemia, methylene blue treatment is not recommended
                • Methylene blue may cause hemolytic anemia in patients with G6PD deficiency, which may be fatal

                CYP2D6 poor metabolizers

                • Elimination of metoclopramide may be slowed in patients who are CYP2D6 poor metabolizers, possibly increasing the risk of dystonic and other adverse reactions to metoclopramide

                Administration

                Intranasal Administration

                Avoid treatment with metoclopramide (all dosage forms and routes of administration) for >12 weeks because of the increased risk of developing tardive dyskinesia with longer-term use

                1 spray in 1 nostril administers the appropriate dose

                Before administering first dose, prime pump by releasing 10 sprays in the air

                Place nozzle tip under 1 nostril and lean the head slightly forward

                Close other nostril with the other index finger; move spray pump upwards so the tip of the nozzle is in the nostril

                To ensure a full dose, hold bottle upright while pressing down firmly on finger flange and release while inhaling slowly through the open nostril
