Metoclopramide can be used to manage GERD symptoms in infants. It promotes gastric emptying, reducing reflux. However, its effectiveness and safety are variable and should be closely monitored.
Metoclopramide is sometimes prescribed for infant GERD to enhance stomach emptying and reduce acid reflux, but its use is cautious due to potential side effects like irritability or sleep disturbances.
