Metoclopramide is metabolized in the liver; thus, patients with hepatic impairment should use it cautiously. Lower dosages or less frequent dosing may be necessary to avoid toxicity.
In patients with liver dysfunction, Metoclopramide clearance is reduced. Dosing adjustments and careful monitoring of side effects are essential to safely manage treatment.
