What is the brand name for metoclopramide?

Motilium
Reglan
Domperidone
Fenugreek

The correct answer is: Reglan

Metoclopramide is primarily marketed under the brand name Reglan. This medication is a prokinetic agent that increases gastrointestinal motility and is often used to treat conditions like gastroparesis and severe nausea. It works by blocking dopamine receptors in the brain, which can help stimulate stomach movements and reduce nausea. The other choices represent different medications or substances. For instance, Motilium is the brand name for domperidone, which is another type of medication similar to metoclopramide but has different indications and mechanisms of action. Fenugreek is an herb commonly used to enhance lactation and has no direct relation to metoclopramide. Understanding the specific uses and classifications of these medications is crucial for effective practice in lactation consultation and related fields.
