This medication is widely used for managing short-term symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, and heartburn, particularly in cases of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) unresponsive to other treatments. It is also effective in alleviating post-operative nausea, preventing chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting, and addressing conditions where improved gastric motility is needed.
