MEDICATION GUIDE
METOZOLV® (MĔ-tō-zolv) ODT
(metoclopramide hydrochloride)
Orally Disintegrating Tablets
Read the Medication Guide that comes with METOZOLV ODT before you take it and each time you get
a refill. There may be new information. If you take another product that contains metoclopramide (such as
REGLAN tablets, REGLAN ODT, REGLAN injection or metoclopramide oral solution), you should read
the Medication Guide that comes with that product. Some of the information may be different. This
Medication Guide does not take the place of talking with your doctor about your medical condition or
your treatment.
What is the most important information I should know about METOZOLV ODT?
METOZOLV ODT can cause serious side effects, including:
Tardive dyskinesia (abnormal muscle movements). These movements happen mostly in the face
muscles. You cannot control these movements. They may not go away even after stopping METOZOLV
ODT. There is no treatment for tardive dyskinesia, but symptoms may lessen or go away over time after
you stop taking METOZOLV ODT.
Your chances for getting tardive dyskinesia go up:
• the longer you take METOZOLV ODT and the more METOZOLV ODT you take. You should not
take METOZOLV ODT for more than 12 weeks.
• if you are older, especially if you are an older woman
• if you have diabetes
It is not possible for your doctor to know if you will get tardive dyskinesia if you take METOZOLV
ODT.
Call your doctor right away if you have movements you can not stop or control, such as:
• lip smacking, chewing, or puckering of your lips
• frowning or scowling
• sticking out your tongue
• blinking and moving your eyes
• shaking of your arms and legs
See the section “What are the possible side effects of METOZOLV ODT?” for more information about
side effects.
