Composition

Benzalkonium Chloride (0.02 %) + Metoclopramide (5 Mg)

Reglan Injection is predominantly used to treat conditions like nausea, vomiting, indigestion, and heartburn. It is classified under the group of medicines known as anti-emetics.

This medicine also plays a pivotal role in treating specific digestive disorders, including those caused by gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).

Before embarking on a treatment course with this medicine, it is essential to inform your doctor about any pre-existing medical conditions or medications you are currently taking. Ensuring strict adherence to the prescribed dosage and frequency is essential for the medicine's optimal performance. If there are any adverse reactions, it is advisable to consult your doctor promptly.

Reglan Injection is used for the management of the following:

Nausea
Vomiting
Indigestion
Heartburn
Restoring digestive tract coordination

Directions for Use of Reglan Injection 10ml

Here are some guidelines on how to use this medicine:

Reglan Injection is administered parenterally, which means it is given as an injection either into a vein (intravenous) or muscle (intramuscular).
This medicine should only be administered by a healthcare professional.
The injection should be administered under the supervision of a doctor.
Please consult your doctor for specific advice regarding the administration of this medicine.

Reglan Injection is administered intravenously or via an intramuscular route.

The common side effects of Reglan Injection are as follows:

Feeling restless
Sleepy
Tired
Dizzy
Headache
Confusion
Trouble sleeping

Managing the Side Effects:

Most side effects are temporary and generally harmless, which resolve on discontinuing Reglan Injection. However, if you experience any severe side effects or worsening of any of the symptoms, please consult your doctor.

Reglan Injection contains the following component:

Metoclopramide (5 mg): It functions by antagonising dopamine D2 receptors, which are primarily found in the chemoreceptor trigger zone in the central nervous system. Dopamine typically has a relaxant effect on the gastrointestinal tract. By inhibiting these receptors, metoclopramide increases the motility of the upper gastrointestinal tract, allowing for faster transit of food and reducing symptoms like nausea and vomiting.

Pregnancy

Pregnant women should avoid using Reglan Injection unless prescribed by their doctor, as it may pose potential risks to the developing foetus.

Breastfeeding

This medicine should generally be avoided by breastfeeding women as the active ingredient, metoclopramide, can pass into breast milk and potentially affect the nursing infant. It is advisable to consult a doctor for alternative treatment options that are deemed safe during breastfeeding.

Alcohol

This injection may enhance the sedative effects of alcohol, potentially increasing drowsiness and impairing cognitive function. It is advisable to avoid or limit alcohol consumption while taking this medication to minimise the risk of intensified side effects.

Liver

Reglan Injection have the potential to cause adverse effects on liver function in some cases, although it is considered rare. Patients with liver disease or impaired liver function should exercise caution, and the doctor may recommend regular monitoring of liver enzymes with this medicine during treatment.

Kidney

It can potentially have side effects on the kidneys. Individuals with kidney problems or impaired renal function need to use this medication with caution and under the guidance of a doctor who can monitor kidney function and adjust the dosage if necessary.

Using Machines & Driving

Reglan Injection may cause drowsiness or sedation, impairing alertness and reaction time, potentially affecting the ability to operate machinery or drive safely. It is advised to use caution and avoid such activities until you know how the medication affects you explicitly.

Allergy

This medicine may rarely cause allergic reactions, such as rash, itching, swelling, or difficulty breathing. If any signs of an allergic reaction occur, immediate medical attention should be sought or consult with your doctor.

Children

Reglan Injection is generally not recommended for use in children without the guidance and prescription of a doctor, as safety and effectiveness may vary depending on the age and condition of the child.

Older Patients

It can be used in older patients, but dosage adjustments and close monitoring may be necessary due to the increased risk of specific side effects. Older patients need to consult with their doctor about medicine use.

Drug-Drug Interactions

Reglan Injection can interact with other medications, including:

Painkillers such as aspirin and acetaminophen can increase the risk of methemoglobinemia when taken with this medicine.
Antidepressants such as duloxetine can increase the risk of developing serotonin syndrome when taken with this medicine.
Parkinson's disease medications such as levodopa can have reduced efficacy when taken with this medicine.
Stomach cramp medications such as atropine or dicyclomine can reduce the efficacy when taken with this medication.
Anxiety medications such as alprazolam and diazepam may increase the side effects when taken with this medicine.

Drug-Food Interactions

Reglan Injection may interact with certain foods including:

Grapefruit juice: Avoid taking grapefruit juice while taking this medication as it may lead to toxicity.

Drug-Disease Interactions

Reglan Injection can interact with other diseases, including:

Parkinson's disease: This medicine can worsen symptoms of Parkinson's disease, including muscle stiffness and uncontrollable shaking, due to its effect on dopamine in the brain.
High blood pressure: This medicine can potentially raise blood pressure, so individuals with hypertension may experience increased blood pressure levels when taking this medication.
Depression: This medicine may exacerbate symptoms of depression and potentially lead to mood changes and depressive feelings.
Breast cancer: Due to its impact on hormone levels, this medicine may influence breast cancer progression and should be used with caution in individuals with this condition.
Asthma: This medicine could affect airway function and bronchial tone, potentially worsening asthma symptoms or causing breathing difficulties.
Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G-6PD) deficiency: This medicine can affect red blood cells and may lead to hemolytic anaemia in individuals with G-6PD deficiency, a hereditary blood disorder.
NADH cytochrome B5 reductase deficiency: This medicine may impact haemoglobin oxygen-carrying capacity and worsen symptoms in individuals with this rare inherited blood disorder.
Heart disease: This medicine might affect heart function, and individuals with heart conditions should use it cautiously, as it may lead to irregular heartbeats or other cardiac issues.
Liver disease: This medicine is metabolised in the liver, and individuals with liver disease may experience altered metabolism of this medicine and require adjusted dosages.
Kidney disease: Reglan Injection and its metabolites are excreted via the kidneys, so individuals with kidney disease may need dose adjustments to prevent potential side effects and accumulation of the medication.

Daily Dose

The daily dose of Reglan Injection should be taken as your doctor prescribes. The dosage may change based on individual factors such as the age, severity of the condition and response to treatment.

Over Dose

An overdose is highly unlikely for this medication as a skilled healthcare professional administers it.

Missed Dose

If you forget to get a dose of Reglan Injection as scheduled, consult with your doctor for advice.

Store Reglan Injection at room temperature and at a place without excessive heat, moisture, and direct sunlight.
Keep the medicines in their original packaging or a tightly sealed container away from children and pets.
Avoid storing Reglan Injection in the bathroom or any area with high humidity, as moisture can degrade the medication.
Do not use this medicine past its expiration date.

Consume easily digestible foods and avoid spicy or greasy foods that can exacerbate symptoms.
Drink plenty of fluids, but avoid carbonated beverages that can cause bloating.
Opt for bland foods like toast, rice, and bananas. Avoid strong odours and foods that can trigger nausea.
