Inappropriate lenght and content of Adverse effects section

I find absolutely inappropriate to discuss in such a detail the adverse effects of the drug, entering in discussions about litigation and compromise of the doctor-patient relationship and so on. These are important arguments that should find a place only in an external link. I think that posting this kind of message in every "averse effect" section of every drug is a breach in etiquette and a serious risk of conflict of interest. It is full of lawyers trying to take advantage of normal adverse events of drugs pushing patients in lawsuits. I think wikipedia should not be involved in this kind of legal malpractice.

Also, instead of writing "somnolence", write "drowsiness". Please enable people to understand this article.

I belive that it is also available under the drug name "Primperan".

Viscouse sez: isn't this drug used to help or increase the production of breastmilk? I don't know what the conenction is, but if anyone can put a blurp on that & why, that would help.

Metoclopramide & Milk fetishism

New User:Anon! added Milk fetishism to a number of articles on drugs or herbal products used to induce lactation for this fetishism. I initially revert the addition of this link on Metoclopramide as being nonsense, and this has be re-inserted. To be fair (WP:AGF) metoclopramide may well be so used, but it is clearly off-label use - which normally is a term used for drugs being prescribed by a doctor for other uses than that licensed, rather than illegally obtaining prescription drugs without a prescription for alternative uses. I am sure many drugs are off-label used by patients obtaining through on-line pharmacies without prescription/medical advice, but does this mean all such (mis-)uses need be included as significant 'See also' links in articles on wikipedia ? Remember whilst significant minority viewpoints must be included under WP:NPOV, trivial minority views do not. I should welcome some input from others on this.

I agree with the excision and have removed the see also. There are hundreds of potential see also links for this medication and I don't think that milk fetishism is more noteworthy than most. See also links contribute to clutter in articles and should be avoided in favor of seamless discussion within the body text. InvictaHOG 03:40, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

Remove. For the same reason we shouldn't backlink every "notable" patient on disease-related pages. JFW | T@lk 07:26, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

Suggestion - New Section Regarding Litigation

At my web site, I've been posting dozens of documents comprising hundreds of pages of court filings over Reglan and Metoclopramide. They run the gamut from copies of lawsuits, to expert depositions, to expert reports. Many of these documents contain the opinions of expert scientists on both sides of the legal issues, including opinions on HOW Reglan causes movement disorders, and HOW OFTEN it does so. The latter is one of the biggest issues in the Reglan litigation. The documents I'm posting aren't freely available anywhere else; I'm buying them from the courts and reproducing them on my website so others can view them. My website is www.dangerousdrugs.us, and yes, it does encourage individuals to contact an attorney if they believe they've developed a movement disorder after taking Reglan. Regardless of whether you find that message personally distasteful, I hope that you'll agree that the quality and quantity of my content justifies inclusion in Wikipedia. You would be hard-pressed to find any other free source of such pertinent documents regarding the drug.

I'm not entirely sure what the etiquette here is. Should I go ahead and create the section with a relevant link, or wait for someone to give me the thumbs up, or? I've already had one editor politely suggest that he doesn't feel a link is appropriate, but he directed me here to seek others' opinions. I hope that the community will agree that the expert reports alone - hundreds of pages of documents, written by top-notch medical experts - justifies including a link to my site. Thanks! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.156.95.212 (talk) 02:59, 19 July 2009 (UTC)

Panoclopramide

Panocloprimide is the name (not brand name) used in South Africa instead of metoclopramide. I think this should be added to the article. - 41.133.254.221 (talk) 15:38, 20 June 2013 (UTC)

Causes of Delayed Stomach Emptying, Grammar Edit Needed

Referring to this sentence: It is commonly used to treat nausea and vomiting, to help with emptying of the stomach in people with delayed stomach emptying due to either diabetes or following surgery, and to help with gastroesophageal reflux disease.

Gastroparesis has many causes, the most common being idiopathic (unknown). This sentence uses 'either/or' and so it assumes there is only two causes for it. I am not sure how to rephrase this sentence for accuracy and brevity.
