What are the Contraindications for Metoclopramide Use?
Metoclopramide is contraindicated in patients with a history of tardive dyskinesia or other extrapyramidal symptoms. It is also not recommended for individuals with pheochromocytoma, as it may precipitate a hypertensive crisis. Caution is advised when prescribing it to patients with Parkinson's disease or those taking medications that may exacerbate dopamine antagonism.
