    I use it because I have a paralyzed stomach, and it speeds up digestion for me.

    I take itbecauseI'm breastfeeding and it increases milk supply, I was also sick the other night and I took it to make sure I wasn't going to v*, as it (as mentioned above) speeds up digestion and acts as an anti emetic.

    I'd like to ask one more question related to this. If I had the virus
    and drank the pills of it, would it also stop v*? No matter how severe
    the v* might be without it?



    Thanks

    My DH took reglan, along with Nexium,to help with his acid reflux and GERD.


    I'm sure reglan would help keep you from v*, much like other anti-emetics. I didn't realize it sped up digestion...

    I think it would work, provided you had enough time for the drug to absorb into your system. The problem with these things is that sometimes people wait until they are so n* that anything that hits their stomach makes them v*. And if you are really sick, your stomach may not be digesting as efficiently. There are some anti emetics that you can dissolve in your mouth, so you don't have to wait for it to digest and get into your bloodstream.

    So it's always working and if I take it and I do not v* in about one
    hour or two, I might be sure that I won't? How long is it effective (1
    pill I mean)?

    Hi-


    Reglan works for 8 hours. It helps speed up digestion, and also stops ving. Or n. My doctor said it would stop you from ving, but like someone else said (sorry i cant remember ) you would have to take it in time to absorb through your system. There are also other anti-emetics. I personally thing that proclorazine (stemetil) is th ebest, but it can give you a side effect of really restless twitchy feelings which it eventually gave me so I had to stop taking it. It can also make you very drowsy. But if I was super n and take it, within an hour I was stuffing my face with food I was so not n anymore. Take care, hope this helps,
