Nutramid Syrup 5 mg/5 ml contains Metoclopramide Hydrochloride, a well-established antiemetic and prokinetic agent used to manage nausea, vomiting, and gastrointestinal motility disorders. The syrup formulation is particularly suitable for children and patients who have difficulty swallowing tablets, ensuring convenient and accurate dosing.

Metoclopramide works by blocking dopamine receptors in the brain that are responsible for triggering nausea and vomiting. In addition, it enhances the movement of the stomach and upper intestine, allowing food to pass more smoothly through the digestive tract. This dual mechanism makes Nutramid Syrup effective in relieving symptoms such as persistent vomiting, bloating, and gastric discomfort.

Indications

Nutramid Syrup is indicated for the treatment and prevention of:

• Nausea and vomiting of various causes

• Vomiting associated with migraine

• Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)

• Delayed gastric emptying (including diabetic gastroparesis)

• Post-operative nausea and vomiting

• Nausea and vomiting induced by certain medications

It may also be used as supportive therapy under medical supervision in selected clinical conditions.

Mechanism of Action

Metoclopramide provides therapeutic benefit through two main actions:

• Central effect: It blocks dopamine (D2) receptors in the chemoreceptor trigger zone (CTZ) of the brain, helping to suppress nausea and vomiting.

• Peripheral effect: It increases gastric motility by enhancing the contractions of the stomach and relaxing the pyloric sphincter, promoting faster gastric emptying and reducing reflux symptoms.

This combined effect improves digestive efficiency and helps patients tolerate oral fluids and food more comfortably.

Dosage and Administration

The dosage depends on the patient’s age, body weight, and medical condition.

• Usually taken up to three times daily.

• Preferably administered 30 minutes before meals.

• Use a calibrated measuring spoon or cup for accurate dosing.

Always follow the physician’s instructions regarding dose and duration. Long-term use should be avoided unless specifically advised by a healthcare professional.

• Prolonged use may increase the risk of involuntary muscle movements (tardive dyskinesia), especially in elderly patients.

• May cause drowsiness; avoid driving or operating machinery if affected.
