Cubebs 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 Cubebs 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.

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.

Cubebs safety at a glance

Cubebs overall Use caution Likely fine in small culinary amounts, but safety of medicinal doses and the essential oil is not well studied.
Pregnancy Avoid Not enough safety information, so it is best avoided in medicinal amounts during pregnancy.
Breastfeeding Avoid No reliable safety data, so avoid medicinal use while breastfeeding.

Safety guidance is general; always confirm with your pharmacist or doctor for your situation.

How we checked

Why No Interaction Is Listed for Metoclopramide Hydrochloride

Interactions in our licensed database are recorded against drug classes, not just single drug names. Metoclopramide Hydrochloride is filed under 5 classifications — including serotonergic drugs, serotonergic drugs, cytochrome p450 2d6 (cyp2d6) substrates. Cubebs has documented interactions with 4 drug classes — the most serious being cytochrome p450 3a4 (cyp3a4) substrates (moderate), antacids (minor) and h2-blockers (minor) — and none of Metoclopramide Hydrochloride’s classifications are among them.

Classification data comes from our licensed Natural Medicines dataset. A medication can belong to classes beyond those recorded there, so this describes how the check was run — it is not a safety guarantee.

What to actually watch for

What Metoclopramide Hydrochloride’s Own FDA Label Lists

This is not an interaction — none of it involves Cubebs. 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. Cubebs’s licensed record lists no adverse effects our clinical vocabulary could match, so there is no Cubebs side to compare — that is a limit of the record, not a statement that Cubebs has no side effects.

About Cubebs

What is Cubebs?

Cubebs
  • Coughs and bronchitis
  • Indigestion and gas
  • Urinary tract complaints
  • Sore throat
  • Culinary spice

Cubebs are spicy, peppery berries from a vine in the pepper family that have long been used in traditional medicine for coughs, digestion, and urinary problems. Modern human studies are very limited, so its benefits are not well proven. Use it cautiously as a food spice, and talk to your pharmacist or doctor before using concentrated extracts or oils.

Piper cubeba · Piperaceae · Dried unripe berries (fruit) and essential oil · Dried berries, powder, essential oil, tinctures, lozenges

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

Cubebs: dosing

There is no well-established, standardized medicinal dose for cubebs. Traditional uses varied widely, and modern research has not defined a safe and effective amount.If you choose to use a cubeb product, follow the directions on the label and do not exceed the recommended amount. Essential oil should never be swallowed undiluted.

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
