Seizures (with increasing seizure density and intensity). Parkinson's. Used in combination with levodopa or dopamine agonists. History of methemoglobinemia due to metoclopramide or NADH cytochrome b5 reductase deficiency. Children under 1 year of age, due to the increased risk of extrapyramidal disorders in this subject. Precautions for use
Extrapyramidal symptoms may occur, which are common in children and young adults and/or with high doses. These reactions usually occur during the initial phase of dosing, and in some cases after a single dose. The drug should be discontinued as soon as extrapyramidal disorders appear.
