Any parents out there with a baby taking METOCLOPRAM to treat GERD (Reflux). If so how has it been?

Any side effects experienced?

Reglan庐 - U.S. /Maxeran庐 Canada (Metoclopramide)
This drug is a dopamine antagonist which is beneficial in the GI tract where dopamine inhibits motility. It stimulates and coordinates esophageal (esophagus), gastric (stomach), pyloric (valve between the stomach and small intestine), and duodenal (small intestine) peristalsis. Peristalsis refers to the smooth, rhythmic muscle contractions that cause food to pass through the digestive tract. It also works to increase lower esophageal sphincter (LES) tone and stimulates gastric contractions. Unfortunately, metoclopramide crosses the blood-brain barrier which can cause negative (and if not discontinued-possibly irreversible) side effects such as involuntary muscle spasms, motor restlessness, and inappropriate aggression. These side effects are more common in long term use (12 or more months). MORE INFO ON REGLAN >

*EDIT* I know my first answer wasn't really your qustion but since my daughter used Zantac for a week and that didn't work and then she used Prevacid which helped a little bit but what really helped was a chiropractor. If you have any questions on that let me know.

It really did nothing for either of my girls. The antacid helped more!
