Nutramid Pediatric Drop 1 mg/ml contains Metoclopramide Hydrochloride, a prokinetic and antiemetic medicine specially formulated for infants and children. It is used to prevent and treat nausea and vomiting and to improve gastrointestinal motility in pediatric patients. The liquid drop formulation allows accurate dose adjustment according to the child’s age and body weight, ensuring safe and effective treatment.

Metoclopramide works by blocking dopamine receptors in the brain that are responsible for triggering nausea and vomiting. At the same time, it enhances the movement of the stomach and upper intestine, helping food pass more efficiently through the digestive tract. This dual action makes it particularly useful in children experiencing vomiting due to infections, digestive disorders, or certain medical treatments.

Indications

Nutramid Pediatric Drop is indicated for:

• Nausea and vomiting in infants and children

• Vomiting associated with acute gastroenteritis

• Post-operative nausea and vomiting

• Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)

• Delayed gastric emptying

• Supportive management of migraine-associated vomiting

It may also be prescribed as part of supportive therapy in certain medical treatments under physician supervision.

Mechanism of Action

Metoclopramide provides relief through two primary mechanisms:

• Central action: Blocks dopamine (D2) receptors in the chemoreceptor trigger zone (CTZ) of the brain, reducing nausea and the urge to vomit.

• Peripheral action: Increases gastric contractions and accelerates gastric emptying, helping relieve symptoms such as bloating, fullness, and persistent vomiting.

By improving digestive motility, it helps reduce discomfort and promotes better tolerance of oral fluids and food in children.

Dosage and Administration

Dosage in pediatric patients is based on body weight and medical condition. The exact dose and duration must be determined by a physician.

• Usually administered up to three times daily.

• It is generally given before meals for optimal effect.

• Use the provided calibrated dropper for accurate dosing.

Do not exceed the recommended dose or duration without medical advice.

Precautions and Warnings

• Should be used cautiously in children, especially infants.

• Not recommended for long-term use due to the risk of movement-related side effects.

• Use with caution in patients with seizure disorders or kidney impairment.

• Avoid use in cases of gastrointestinal obstruction, perforation, or bleeding.
