A member asked:

What is the purpose of reglan (metoclopramide) in colonoscopy preperation?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Helps: Reglan (metoclopramide) helps the stomach empty faster, pushing the large volume of the typical liquid prep out faster, lessening the chance of you vomiting it up because it doesn't go through quick enough.
