Specifications
Target Information
Metoclopramide is a dopamine receptor antagonist used in veterinary medicine as a prokinetic agent and antiemetic to treat gastrointestinal motility disorders and vomiting in livestock and companion animals. Its relevance to food safety is critical because it is considered a pharmacologically active substance that can leave residues in edible tissues and milk. In many jurisdictions, such as the European Union, metoclopramide is prohibited or strictly limited for use in food-producing animals because no Maximum Residue Limit (MRL) has been established to guarantee consumer safety. Potential side effects in humans, including neurological impacts like extrapyramidal symptoms, make its monitoring essential in animal-derived food products.
