Perinorm Injection 2ml

Perinorm Injection is used to treat severe nausea, vomiting and delayed stomach emptying.

Uses of Perinorm Injection are:

• Severe Nausea and Vomiting: Provides prompt relief from severe nausea and vomiting.
• Gastroparesis: Speeds up delayed stomach emptying in diabetic gastroparesis.
• Treatment-Related Vomiting: Prevents chemotherapy-induced and post-operative vomiting.

A healthcare professional gives Perinorm Injection dose. It is not recommended to be self-administered.

Perinorm injection is administered intravenously (IV) or intramuscularly (IM) as an injection.

• Perinorm Injection action is due to Metoclopramide hydrochloride, its active ingredient. Metoclopramide hydrochloride is a medication that belongs to the class of drugs known as prokinetic agents. It works by increasing the motility of the stomach and intestines, which helps to improve gastric emptying and reduce nausea and vomiting.
• Metoclopramide hydrochloride works by blocking dopamine receptors in the brain and gastrointestinal tract. Dopamine is a neurotransmitter that helps to control movement and coordination in the body. By blocking dopamine receptors, metoclopramide hydrochloride increases the release of acetylcholine, another neurotransmitter that stimulates smooth muscle contraction in the gastrointestinal tract.
• In addition to its prokinetic effects, metoclopramide hydrochloride has antiemetic properties, which can help reduce nausea and vomiting. It works by blocking the chemoreceptor trigger zone (CTZ) in the brain, which is responsible for the sensation of nausea and vomiting.
