Taking metoclopramide with other medicines and herbal supplements - Brand name: Maxolon

Cautions with other medicines

Some medicines and metoclopramide can affect each other. This can increase your chance of having side effects.

Speak to your doctor or pharmacist before starting to take metoclopramide if you take any of these medicines:

• medicines for Parkinson's disease, such as levodopa
• medicines that make you sleepy (drowsy) including diazepam or amitriptyline
• any other anti-sickness medicines (antiemetics)

Mixing metoclopramide with herbal remedies and supplements

There's not enough information to say that complementary medicines, herbal remedies and supplements are safe to take with metoclopramide. They're not tested in the same way as pharmacy and prescription medicines. They're generally not tested for the effect they have on other medicines.

Some herbal remedies can make your side effects worse.
