Reglan (metoclopramide) "My mother got an injection of this even though she wasn’t vomiting when she got to the hospital and after they saw fluid on her lung and her telling them she couldn’t breathe. She was taking this liquid version orally for about 3 weeks 30 minutes before meals and only 1 tsp which was 2.5 ml but they gave her an injection supposedly of only 5 ml into her vein and that set things off into a direction that she never came back from. She said her tongue felt like it was swelling and eventually she couldn’t talk, her eyes were dilated, she couldn’t breath and had uncontrollable movements. They put her on dyphenhydramine to help but it didn’t and the nurse who was there was more concerned about the finger sensor working than noticing she was slowly going into cardiac arrest due to lack of oxygen. My mom went into a coma and now has passed away at 69! Don’t take this!"

"I was going to my family doctor for heartburn and try to every prescription in the book for my indigestion come to find out I had Hodgkin's lymphoma cancer. Then when taking chemo I was getting nauseated and still had the indigestion even worse my hematologist put me on this drug and I praise it to this day it's the best thing out there. I am currently in remission but still side effects from the cancer and chemo so I have indigestion problems and as long as I take it before meals and before bedtime I no longer have indigestion"

"I take 10 mg of metonia (generic) before chemo and whenever I feel a twinge of nausea starting and it works excellently! I'm on an 8-week cycle (7 on, 1 off) for pancreatic cancer which can't be cured but the tumour can stay status quo for a while with chemo so the metonia is a godsend. I'll be doing chemo until it doesn't work anymore so this drug is my best friend (with no unwanted side effects)! Good luck to all out there!"
