Almet 10 mg Tablet

Almet 10 mg Tablet contains 10 mg of metoclopramide in each tablet. It is an anti-emetic and prokinetic medicine used to help prevent or treat nausea and vomiting and to improve stomach emptying in certain conditions. The Almet 10 mg Tablet is taken by mouth and is prescribed when a doctor decides this tablet strength is appropriate for the patient’s symptoms and medical history. This exact product is made by Alkem Laboratories, India, and is supplied as a strip/box of 10 tablets.

How it works: Metoclopramide helps the stomach and upper intestines move food forward more quickly, which can reduce feelings of nausea and fullness. In tablet form, Almet 10 mg Tablet delivers the medicine by mouth so it can start working after it is absorbed into the body.

Almet 10 mg Tablet is a full-strength tablet form, so it is typically used for patients who need the standard metoclopramide tablet dose rather than a lower strength. Because each tablet contains 10 mg, it may be more suitable when a doctor wants a predictable oral dose for nausea, vomiting, or delayed stomach emptying. Compared with lower-strength options, this 10 mg tablet may be less forgiving if side effects occur, so the dose and duration are chosen carefully.

• Nausea and vomiting
• Gastroparesis (delayed stomach emptying)
• Reflux-related symptoms when prescribed by a doctor
• Short-term symptom control for stomach motility problems

• Swallow Almet 10 mg Tablet whole with water unless your doctor gives different instructions.
• Take it exactly as prescribed; the timing may be before meals and/or at bedtime depending on the reason it was prescribed.
• Do not crush or chew the tablet unless your pharmacist or doctor says it is safe to do so.
• If it causes drowsiness, avoid driving or using machinery until you know how it affects you.
• Do not take extra tablets to make up for a missed dose; follow your prescribed schedule instead.
• Use the tablet only for the duration your doctor recommends, since metoclopramide is usually intended for short-term use.

Each Almet 10 mg Tablet provides 10 mg of metoclopramide per tablet. How many tablets you take, how often you take them, and the maximum amount per day depend on the condition being treated, your age, and your medical history, and must be decided by your doctor. Because this is the 10 mg tablet strength, it fits standard oral dosing plans but should not be self-adjusted.

Do not change your dose or stop the medicine without speaking to your doctor.
