In medicine, metoclopramide is a " dopamine D2 antagonist that is used as an antiemetic."[1]
In a randomized controlled trial that compared droperidol, metoclopramide, and prochlorperazine, droperidol was more effective but also caused more self-reported anxiety or restlessness.[2]
Metoclopramide may cause psychomotor agitation, this is not prevented by diphenhydramine.[3]
