Reglan (Metoclopramide) Tablets 10 mg are prescribed to treat gastrointestinal disorders such as nausea, vomiting, acid reflux, and gastroparesis. Metoclopramide is a dopamine antagonist that works by enhancing the movement of the stomach and intestines, helping food pass more easily and preventing delayed gastric emptying. It also acts on the brain's chemoreceptor trigger zone to control nausea.
