What Is Gimoti?
Gimoti (metoclopramide) Nasal Spray is a dopamine-2 (D2) antagonist used to relieve symptoms in adults with acute and recurrent diabetic gastroparesis.
What Are Side Effects of Gimoti?
Side effects of Gimoti include:
Dosage for Gimoti
The recommended dose of Gimoti for adults less than 65 years of age is 1 spray (15 mg) in one nostril, 30 minutes before each meal and at bedtime (maximum of 4 sprays daily) for 2 to 8 weeks, depending on symptomatic response.
Gimoti In Children
Gimoti is not recommended for use in pediatric patients due to the risk of tardive dyskinesia and other extrapyramidal symptoms as well as the risk of methemoglobinemia in neonates. The safety and effectiveness of Gimoti in pediatric patients have not been established.
Dystonias and other extrapyramidal symptoms associated with metoclopramide are more common in pediatric patients than in adults. In addition, neonates have reduced levels of NADH-cytochrome b5 reductase, making them more susceptible to methemoglobinemia, a possible adverse reaction of metoclopramide use in neonates.
What Drugs, Substances, or Supplements Interact with Gimoti?
Gimoti may interact with other medicines such as:
Tell your doctor all medications and supplements you use.
Gimoti During Pregnancy and Breastfeeding
Tell your doctor if you are pregnant or plan to become pregnant before using Gimoti; it is unknown how it would affect a fetus. Metoclopramide may cause extrapyramidal signs and methemoglobinemia in breastfeeding infants. Consult your doctor before breastfeeding.

SIDE EFFECTS
The following adverse reactions are described, or described in greater detail, in other sections of the labeling:
The following adverse reactions have been identified from clinical studies or postmarketing reports of metoclopramide. Because these reactions are reported voluntarily from a population of uncertain size, it is not always possible to reliably estimate their frequency or establish a causal relationship to drug exposure.
The safety of GIMOTI was evaluated in clinical trials of patients with gastroparesis and established in clinical trials of oral metoclopramide.
Safety Of GIMOTI
In a randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trial of 190 male and female patients of GIMOTI 14 mg, a slightly lower than recommended dosage, administered nasally four times daily for 4 weeks, dysgeusia was the most commonly reported adverse reaction (15% of GIMOTI-treated patients and 4% of placebo-treated patients). Other adverse reactions were similar to those reported for oral metoclopramide.
Safety Of Oral Metoclopramide
The most common adverse reactions (in approximately 10% of patients receiving the recommended oral metoclopramide dosage of 10 mg four times daily) were restlessness, drowsiness, fatigue, and lassitude. In general, the incidence of adverse reactions correlated with the dosage and duration of metoclopramide administration.
Adverse reactions, especially those involving the nervous system, occurred after stopping metoclopramide including dizziness, nervousness, and headaches.
