Reglan injections can be performed intravenously or intramuscularly, for a variety of symptoms and indications, including:

• to prevent postoperative nausea and vomiting (an intramuscular injection is usually administered for this purpose)
• to prevent nausea and vomiting following chemotherapy
• for the facilitation of small-intestine intubation patients when the tube will not pass the pylorus with conventional maneuvers
• to stimulate gastric emptying and the movement of barium in adult and pediatric patients in whom delayed emptying interferes with the radiological examination of the small intestine or stomach

Reglan injections are available as five-milligram dosages of the active ingredient, metoclopramide hydrochloride, in several sizes of single-dose vials: 2 mL, 10 mL and 30 mL. Each milliliter of solution for injection contains 5 mg of metoclopramide. The dose used will depend in part on the weight of the patient (i.e., mg/kg). The usual adult dose for the prevention of postoperative nausea is 10 mg.

The Pharmacological Effects of Reglan Injections

The timing of the effects of a Reglan injection depends on how the injection is administered. The metoclopramide in a Reglan injection will start taking action about 1 to 3 minutes after an intravenous (i.v.) injection, approx. 10–15 minutes after an intramuscular (i.m.) injection and about 30 to 60 minutes after an oral dose (Reglan tablet) is taken.

The metoclopramide is well absorbed by a human or animal, and its effects last roughly one to two hours.

Reglan Injections Should Be Done Slowly

An i.v. injection of Reglan or Reglan diluted in a solution (such as saline) should be done slowly. If a Reglan injection is done too quickly, the patient may experience intense feelings of restlessness and/or anxiety, followed by fatigue.

Reglan Injection Subcutaneously

Reglan injections can also be done subcutaneously — that is, under the skin, in the fatty tissue just beneath the skin. This route for a Reglan injection is used more commonly in animals being treated for vomiting.

Reglan Injection Side Effects

The potential side effects of Reglan injections include tardive dyskinesia, an incurable and severe movement disorder, blood problems, unexplained abdominal pain, fever, stiff muscles, difficulty breathing, jaundice (yellowing of the eyes or skin), headaches, insomnia, dizziness and more. Reglan side effects are serious and should not be taken lightly.

If you or a loved one is taking Reglan you should discuss the potential side effects with your doctor.
