Method Dexilant instead of OTC metoclopramide??

[Willowkin]

I am reading in the PP Handbook that you should take 6 pills of 10mg metoclopramide which is used for upset stomach but is also listed for GERD. I take 60mg of Dexilant (which on the bottle says is 60mg of "dexlansoprazole as enteric-coated granules") for my GERD. Does anyone know if taking a bunch of the Dexilant would do the same or better? And if yes, how much should I go with?

If you have GERD, you should take Dexilant. Forget meto.
Recommendations about take meto is just you do not throw up the mixture, even you can use an antihistamine regular.
Avoid high acidity methods, that would be important keeping in your mind.

If Dexilant can be used as alternative antiemetic for SN, instead of Metoclopramide, then how can you be prescribed Dexilant?

Does Dexilant need prescription? and if so, how can you be prescribed one? i'm in US.

Dexilant is prescribed in the US for GERD which is also called acid reflux. The kind I take is delayed release but after asking careful questions from my doctor it can be opened and mixed with applesauce or in water in an oral syringe and that will cut down on the time it takes to take effect. I will be taking it one of those two ways at least an hour ahead of time. It helps empty your system so that any OD is absorbed into your system faster

It is not hard at all at least in my opinion to fake acid reflux. You just need to read up on it and read peoples descriptions. However doctors may try other methods first
