Other names for metoclopramide?

See the DrugPatentWatch profile for metoclopramide

What other names does metoclopramide go by?

Metoclopramide is also sold and referenced under other names, including brand names and drug identifiers (for example, on prescriptions or in medical records). Commonly, you’ll see it listed as:

- Metoclopramide (generic name)
- Reglan (brand name in many countries)

How do you find the exact “other name” used on a prescription?

On a prescription label or in a pharmacy system, the same medicine may appear under:
- A brand name (where available in that region)
- The generic name (metoclopramide)
- A manufacturer-specific product name
- Often the same active ingredient: metoclopramide (even if the label branding differs)

If you tell me your country (and what the label says, like the exact brand or spelling), I can narrow it to the most likely alternative names for that specific market.
