A member asked:

Can metoclopramide help with lower abdominal pain under the left rib?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not likely: Metoclopramide causes more rapid movement through the digestive tract but it can cause some neurological side effects. I find that oral magnesium helps do the same thing without the potential side effects. Should find out why the cause of pain is before taking any treatment.
