A member asked:

My daughter's told her vargas nerve may be damaged and was prescribed reglan (metoclopramide). she can't be on it for a long time, what can she do when she goes off it?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Concerns: How and why has this information been confirmed? Regian is used for gastrointestinal symptoms, and does not imply abnormality of a major cranial nerve. This seems confusing to me and I believe you need a second opinion.
