Perinorm-CD Capsule contains metoclopramide (15 mg), which works on your body as follows:

Dopamine D2 Receptor Inhibition: Metoclopramide blocks dopamine D2 receptors that are found both in your brain and your gut. Blocking these receptors helps stimulate the muscles in your gastrointestinal tract.
Serotonin 5-HT4 Receptor Stimulation: It also stimulates serotonin 5-HT4 receptors present in your gut. This further aids the movement of food through your digestive tract.
Muscarinic Receptor Enhancement: Metoclopramide enhances the activity at muscarinic receptors which contributes to its prokinetic effects.

Pregnancy

If you are pregnant, caution is recommended while taking Perinorm-CD Capsule. It is best to consult your doctor before taking this medicine.

Breastfeeding

While breastfeeding, it is advised to be careful with Perinorm-CD Capsule as it is excreted in breast milk. Make sure to consult your doctor in order to understand potential risks and benefits.

Alcohol

The combination of Perinorm-CD Capsule and alcohol may result in additive sedative effects. It's wise to limit your alcohol intake or avoid it altogether while on this medication.

Liver

Perinorm-CD Capsule may need careful administration if you have liver problems, especially cirrhosis, as the clearance of the medicine can be affected. Ensure you discuss any liver-related health concerns with your doctor before starting this medicine.

Kidney

The functioning of your kidneys can influence how Perinorm-CD Capsule works in your body. If you have kidney issues, please consult your doctor before taking this medicine.

Using Machines & Driving

Due to possible side effects like drowsiness or fatigue, Perinorm-CD Capsule might affect your ability to drive or operate machinery. Be cautious and ensure you know how it affects you before engaging in such activities.

Allergy

Perinorm-CD Capsule is contraindicated if you have known hypersensitivity to metoclopramide or any other components of the capsule. Consult with your doctor if you have a history of allergic reactions.

Children

Perinorm-CD Capsule is intended for adult use and caution is advised while giving this medicine to children under 18 years of age. Always consult your doctor before giving any medicine to a child.

Older Patients

Drug-Drug Interactions

Cytochrome P450 2D6 (CYP2D6) Inhibitors: Medicines like quinidine can increase metoclopramide levels and toxicity due to their inhibitory effect on CYP2D6, the enzyme that metabolises metoclopramide.
Sedatives and Hypnotics: The sedative effects of medicines like diazepam and lorazepam can be enhanced when taken with Perinorm-CD Capsule due to its potential CNS depressant action.
Anticholinergic Medications: Medicines like atropine may counteract the prokinetic effects of Perinorm-CD Capsule by inhibiting the actions of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter that promotes gastrointestinal motility.
Monoamine Oxidase Inhibitors (MAOIs): These medicines, such as phenelzine, can potentiate the extrapyramidal side effects of Perinorm-CD Capsule.

Drug-Food Interactions

There are no specific food items identified that interact with Perinorm-CD Capsule. However, it's always wise to take your medicine as directed by your doctor.

Drug-Disease Interactions

Liver Disease: Metoclopramide is metabolised in the liver; liver disease could impair this process and increase medication levels, potentially leading to an increased risk of side effects.
Kidney Disease: Kidney disease may affect how metoclopramide is removed from your body, possibly requiring dosage adjustments.
Diabetes: Perinorm-CD Capsule may alter insulin requirements in diabetic patients due to its gastrointestinal motility-enhancing action.

Daily Dose

Your daily dosage of Perinorm-CD Capsule depends on your doctor's prescription. It can vary based on factors like severity of the condition and how you respond to the medicine. Always adhere to the prescribed dosage and don't exceed it without a consultation with your doctor.

Over Dose

Accidental overdose of Perinorm-CD Capsule may result in side effects like drowsiness, restlessness, or confusion. If you notice any such symptoms persisting or worsening, inform your doctor. However, always remember to take the correct dosage as prescribed by your doctor.

Missed Dose

If you forget to take your regular dose of Perinorm-CD Capsule, take it as soon as you remember. If it's nearly time for the next dose, skip the missed one and continue with your usual dosage schedule. Never adjust your dosage without consulting your doctor.

Store Perinorm-CD Capsule in a dry place away from light and moisture.
The optimal storage temperature is between 20°C to 25°C.
Keep the medicine in its original packaging until it's time to take it.
Ensure the medicine is always kept out of the reach and sight of children.
Always use this medicine before the expiry date on the pack.

If you have diabetes, it's crucial to maintain a balanced diet with regular meals, limiting high-sugar foods. This can help manage your blood sugar levels, which could alleviate symptoms related to diabetic gastroparesis.
Regular exercise can also be beneficial. It can improve your overall health and may potentially aid in managing the symptoms of gastroparesis by promoting better digestion. Do consult your doctor regarding suitable physical activities for your condition.
