GIMOTI can cause serious side effects, including: TARDIVE DYSKINESIA: Abnormal muscle movements, mostly of the face or tongue muscles. You cannot control these movements, and they may not go away even after stopping GIMOTI. Your chances of getting tardive dyskinesia increase

The longer you take metoclopramide and the more metoclopramide you take. You should not take GIMOTI for more than 8 weeks at a time, and you should not take products containing metoclopramide (including GIMOTI) for more than 12 weeks at a time.
If you are older, especially if you are an older woman (e.g., age 65 years and older)
If you have diabetes

†GIMOTI was studied in 205 women with diabetic gastroparesis and delayed gastric emptying. The results in a smaller group of women who started the study with moderate to severe symptoms were also analyzed. In this group, 52 of the women used GIMOTI and 53 of the women used a placebo nasal spray.

“
I sprayed it up my nose, closed my eyes. The medication worked. It worked. No more vomiting. We were able to do something that we had not done in a while—go out to dinner, sit down, and eat.”
– Tammy, actual GIMOTI patient^‡

“
GIMOTI changed my outlook on life. I can actually get up, and I can mingle. I can run and play with my grandkids.”

Possible side effects of GIMOTI

In clinical trials, the most common side effects reported were unpleasant taste after dosing, headache, and tiredness.^2,3

Tardive dyskinesia (TD) has been observed with metoclopramide use.⁴

During the clinical development program for GIMOTI, there were no reports of TD²
The data suggest that the risk of TD from using metoclopramide is likely to be less than 1%.^4,§ The absolute risk of TD is still not known, and further studies are required.

§This percentage is based on 7 studies published between 1984 and 2008. Individual genetics may affect how some people respond to medications like metoclopramide, and other factors may make some more at risk of developing TD.
