Maxolon (metoclopramide)

For adults, the typical dosage of Maxolon is 10 mg taken up to three times a day before meals. The maximum dose should not exceed 30 mg in 24 hours. If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. However, if it's almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose. If you have any concerns about your dosage, consult your healthcare provider.  

Each Maxolon tablet contains 10 mg of metoclopramide as the active ingredient. The tablet also includes excipients such as maize starch, povidone, magnesium stearate, and lactose.  

Common side effects of Maxolon may include drowsiness, restlessness, and diarrhea. Serious side effects that require immediate medical attention include muscle stiffness, uncontrolled movements, or signs of an allergic reaction like rash, itching, swelling, or difficulty breathing.  

Do not take Maxolon if you have a history of seizures, pheochromocytoma, or gastrointestinal obstruction. This medication is not suitable for children. If you have certain conditions like Parkinson's disease or are taking medications like sedatives or opioids, speak to your doctor before using Maxolon to avoid potential interactions.
