Reglan tablets, available in the U.S. in 5-mg and 10-mg strengths, are usually prescribed for heartburn/acid reflux, GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease) and post-chemotherapy nausea in adults. Off-label, Reglan tablets (and other brands of metoclopramide tablets) are also administered to:

This and other metoclopramide/Reglan medications are provided by pharmacists along with an extensive description of the potential side effects of metoclopramide hydrochloride, which include:
