MetoclopramideWell-done! Metoclopramide works by antagonizing central dopamine receptors, serving as an anti-emetic and prokinetic agent. Central dopamine blockade in the nigrostriatal pathway can lead to extrapyramidal side effects such as acute dystonias and tardive dyskinesia. Increased prolactin levels can induce galactorrhea and other adverse effects include drownsiness, fatigue and restlessness. |
