Method Is Metoclopramide hydrochloride valid?

I dunno for sure , mine just says donperidone , it’s easy to get online. But I would say that is almost like meto if it has that name. Do some research online.

I have some doubts as well. As far as I know the Meto we are looking for must be a dopamine blocker (like Donperidone, as suggested by Sherri).
If I get it right the OTC versions are not dopamine blockers... yet it's quite strange because Plasil (meto hydrochloride) - for example - is used after surgeries and also on people on chemotherapy.

As I understand, this is still meto and acts as it with dopamine

But yeah probably I'll try to get the equivalent of Donperidone

Yes I think you're right. I was looking into it right now and the only difference between the OTC and not OTC in my country is the quantity of active principle.

Yet I think donperidone is better than metoplocramide, which could lead to extrapiramidal effects (spasm/muscle contractions and so on); I don't know if the dose required in the SN method is enough to develop such symptoms, but it would be really uncomfortable.

It looks like the same thing. I have a brand called Perinorm: https://docprime.com/perinorm-tablet-mddp

It's the same dosage of 10 mg.
