Popis: Single dose (10mg) of metoclopramide injection, syrup and tablet was given in crossover design to 3 healthy male volunteers in the fasting state. Excretion of metoclopramide into urine was determined by spectrophotometry. Urinary excretion of metoclopramide 24 hours after administration of syrup was 77.7% and that of tablet 91.0%, as against the excretion after intravenous infusion as 100%. Urinary excretion of N4-glucuronide was larger by oral administration than by intravenous infusion, and unchanged metoclopramide was excreted more by intravenous infusion.
