Metoclopramide: A Safe Alternative to Domperidone? A Case Report on Severe Cardiac Adverse Effects in an Older Patient.
Drug Safety - Case Reports 2018 August 8
Peripheral antidopaminergic medication is frequently prescribed to treat nausea. However, domperidone is ill-famed for its severe cardiac adverse effects. Metoclopramide has been suggested as a relatively safe alternative because it has long been considered to have less significant cardiovascular adverse effects. We present an older patient who developed severe bradycardia and hypotension shortly after receiving intravenous metoclopramide. Cardiac adverse effects of metoclopramide in elderly are not frequently described in the literature, especially not in patients without a major history of cardiac disease. We recommend caution with intravenous administered metoclopramide in older patients.
