Vitamin Add-Ins: Reglan

If you struggle with digestive issues such as heartburn, nausea or feeling full and bloated even when you haven't eaten, IV therapy with Reglan could be an effective way to ease your symptoms and help you find relief. At Rocky Mountain IV Medics, we offer Reglan as an add-in to any of our at-home IV packages. This medication is usually targeted to patients with gastrointestinal issues such as chronic heartburn or delayed stomach emptying due to diabetes, called diabetic gastroparesis.

What Is Reglan?

Reglan, also known by the generic name metoclopramide, is a medication used to treat certain stomach and intestine conditions. As an antiemetic, Reglan combats nausea and vomiting and helps with other digestive issues such as heartburn and feelings of fullness. As a gut stimulant, this medication can aid gut motility, helping food move through the gastrointestinal system without purging it.

Reglan is generally only prescribed for short-term use. Be sure to consult a doctor before receiving Reglan IV therapy, as this medication can cause potential side effects.

Uses for Reglan IV Therapy

Reglan can be used as a short-term treatment for a variety of conditions affecting the gastrointestinal tract:

  • Persistent heartburn: If other heartburn treatments don't seem to work, Reglan can serve as a short-term solution. This medication is most effective for daytime heartburn or heartburn that occurs after eating. By treating chronic heartburn, harm to the esophagus caused by stomach acid can begin to heal.
  • Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD): GERD is a chronic form of acid reflux that can lead to a burning pain in the chest, regurgitation, nausea and other gastrointestinal issues. Reglan can be used to treat GERD patients who don't respond to conventional treatments.
  • Diabetic gastroparesis: Reglan is also used to treat diabetic patients who struggle with poor emptying of their stomachs. The medication can speed up the movement of the upper intestines and help patients empty their stomachs more quickly. By treating gastroparesis, patients can experience less nausea, vomiting and abdominal fullness.
  • Post-treatment nausea: Medical procedures such as surgery done under anesthesia and chemotherapy often cause patients to experience severe nausea and vomiting. Reglan can help relieve these symptoms.
