Key takeaways

Dopamine-receptor-antagonists are used to treat gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), nausea and vomiting during procedures, and symptoms of diabetic gastroparesis. These medications work by blocking dopamine receptors in the brain and gut, which helps to reduce nausea and improve movement of food through the stomach. Dopamine-receptor-antagonists come in different forms, including oral tablets and injectable solutions. Examples include metoclopramide (Reglan), metoclopramide nasal spray (Gimoti), and droperidol. You can choose the form that best fits your needs.
