Avens and Metoclopramide Hydrochloride

We checked these two against our interaction database. Here is what we found.

No Known Interaction Found

We did not find a documented interaction between Metoclopramide Hydrochloride and Avens in our sources. This does not guarantee that the combination is completely free of risk — there is often limited research on supplements and herbal products, especially around drug interactions.

Worth understanding: our licensed dataset holds no drug-interaction record for Avens at all — not against Metoclopramide Hydrochloride, and not against any other medication we track. This verdict therefore rests on the absence of any recorded data, not on research that looked at this combination and found nothing. We cannot rule an interaction out.

If you decide to take both, the practical routine is simple: add one new thing at a time and note the date you started it. If the combination is going to disagree with you, it usually shows in the first days to a couple of weeks — and a start date turns “I’ve been feeling off” into something a pharmacist can actually work with. Do not stop a prescribed medicine on your own.

Always talk with your pharmacist or doctor before making changes to your medications or supplements, particularly if you take several medications or have an ongoing health condition.

What Metoclopramide Hydrochloride’s Own FDA Label Lists

This is not an interaction — none of it involves Avens. These are the most notable effects listed in the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of Metoclopramide Hydrochloride’s own FDA label, for the medication by itself. Knowing the drug’s own list makes it easier to work out the likely cause if something new turns up while you take both. 10 of them are worth acting on rather than waiting out — marked below.

  • Serotonin syndrome Worth acting on
  • Thoughts of self-harm Worth acting on
  • A slow heartbeat Worth acting on
  • Hallucinations Worth acting on
  • Yellowing of the skin or eyes Worth acting on
  • Heart failure Worth acting on
  • Wheezing Worth acting on
  • An irregular heartbeat Worth acting on
  • Confusion Worth acting on
  • Seizures Worth acting on

Showing the 10 most notable of 35 label-listed effects — ranked by how unusual each one is across medicines generally, with serious effects weighted up.

From the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of the FDA label for Metoclopramide Hydrochloride. Read the label on DailyMed › Where a percentage is shown, it is the share of 76,710 voluntary FDA FAERS reports for Metoclopramide Hydrochloride that mention that effect — a reporting proportion, not an incidence rate and not evidence the drug caused it. Avens’s licensed record lists no adverse effects our clinical vocabulary could match, so there is no Avens side to compare — that is a limit of the record, not a statement that Avens has no side effects.

About Avens

What is Avens?

Avens
  • Diarrhea
  • Indigestion and dyspepsia
  • Gas (flatulence)
  • Sore throat and mouth rinses
  • Mild inflammation

Avens is a traditional European herb whose root and leaves are rich in tannins and have long been used as a tea for diarrhea and digestive upset. Solid human research is lacking, so its benefits are unproven. If you choose to try it, use it short-term, follow the product label, and check first with your pharmacist or doctor.

Geum urbanum · Rosaceae · Dried aerial (flowering) parts and roots · Tea (infusion), decoction, dried herb, root powder, tincture

An interaction check asks whether these two react with each other — it does not ask whether Avens is a good idea for someone in your situation. Here is what our Avens record says about it on its own.

Avens: dosing

There is no officially established or standardized dose for Avens. Traditional sources describe steeping a small amount of dried herb in hot water as a tea, or briefly boiling the dried root to make a decoction.Because product strengths vary widely, the safest approach is to follow the directions on the product label and not exceed them.

About Metoclopramide Nasal Spray

What Is Metoclopramide Nasal Spray Used For?

Brand name: Gimoti

Gimoti (metoclopramide nasal spray) is approved for adults with acute and recurrent diabetic gastroparesis — a condition where diabetes damages the nerves controlling stomach emptying, causing nausea, vomiting, and bloating. It works to relieve those symptoms by helping the stomach empty more normally.

Gimoti is not recommended for children, or for adults with moderate to severe kidney or liver disease. It is also not recommended for adults taking strong CYP2D6 inhibitor medications (certain antidepressants and other drugs that slow how the body breaks down metoclopramide).

Most-Reported Side Effects for Metoclopramide Hydrochloride

From FAERS, the FDA’s public side-effect reporting system (76,710 reports, all brands). Reports are voluntary and are not proof the drug caused the effect.

Tardive dyskinesia 16,218 reports
Extrapyramidal disorder 12,921 reports
Nervous system disorder 7,526 reports
Dystonia 7,115 reports
