Help Is itopride okay with SN's AE?

I wanted to prescribe meto but the doctor gave itopride.
I found out that it blocks dopamine, but I think it's a little different from meto.
thank you for reading! I'm sorry for my poor English

The recommended AEs after meto all end in -ine, like cimetidine, ratidine, etc.

Does itoprode work on the same dopamine receptor as meto?

Yeah, it's a dopamine antagonist.

Well if number one on your list exactly matches meto, sounds like it will do exactly what meto is intended to do.

You're welcome. Just remember I'm only a random person on the internet. It's always your responsibility and your decision.

If I'm wrong and someone on SS is knowledgeable, I do hope they'll see the thread and respond.
