See lessHow does Metoclopramide influence the absorption of other medications in the gastrointestinal tract?
Metoclopramide increases gastrointestinal motility, which can affect the absorption rates of other medications by reducing their exposure time in the intestine. This can diminish the efficacy of drugs that require longer contact time for full absorption.
