Metoclopramide vs Ondansetron
 | Metoclopramide |  | Ondansetron |  |
| Metoclopramide is used to treat certain conditions of the stomach and intestines. Metoclopramide is used as a short-term treatment (4 to 12 weeks) for persistent heartburn when the usual medicines do not work well enough. It is used mostly for heartburn that occurs after a meal or during the daytime. Treating persistent heartburn can decrease the damage done by stomach acid to the swallowing tube (esophagus) and help healing. | This medication is used alone or with other medications to prevent nausea and vomiting caused by cancer drug treatment (chemotherapy) and radiation therapy. It is also used to prevent and treat nausea and vomiting after surgery. It works by blocking one of the body's natural substances (serotonin) that causes vomiting. | |||

My brain was running 30 miles an hour. cant think straight. Be careful if you noticed any twitches, cause I couldn't stood still. made mough dry out. caused sleepiness I have been taking this medication for 19 years, I have never had any kind of problems.I have had extensive abdominal surgery 19 years ago, had to remove 40% of my pancreas...and 5 years later full blown diabeties....severe...have to be on an insulin pump....Its the best thing I could have ever done....And on top of that I was born with lipodystrophy very low fat cells in my body so there for I ... long time use. still get acid reflux. need drug for swallowing problems do to narrowing esophugus and operation from tear in it. drooling and can't sleep. watery stools which I did not have before | Add Ondansetron review While using this drug, I am still nauseated and vomiting. I was currently taking promethazine but my Doctor switched me to ondansetron. I am waiting for a call back from my Doctor to switch me back. Nausea vomiting and diarrhea for 4 days.Went to hospital ER. Given Ondansetron HCL 4mgm tab. After 3 dAys on med no more nausea and vomiting but still feel awful. Will call Dr. Was taking the round pill and had some of the ones that dissolve in your mouth, both worked well. Just got a new refill and now it's oval in shape and does NOT work as well. It is probably an insurance perference. I am fed up with people who are capable of using a computer and filing claims taking charge of my health care. I hope they like the bills when I end up in er and hosp. stay because they are allowed to be doctors. It's time we all stood up to these people and demand the best available care in aspects of our health care needs. | |||
