About Perinorm Syrup 60 ml

Perinorm Syrup 60 ml belongs to a group of medicines called anti-emetics and prokinetic agents used to prevent nausea and vomiting caused by chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and which might occur after migraine. Additionally, Perinorm Syrup 60 ml is also used to treat gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GERD), diabetic gastroparesis (delayed gastric emptying in people with diabetes), heartburn, ulcers and sores in the oesophagus.

Perinorm Syrup 60 ml contains ‘metoclopramide’ that works by increasing the motility of the upper gastrointestinal tract; this allows faster transit of food and reduces the symptoms of GERD and gastric emptying. It also works on the part of the brain that controls vomiting, thereby helps in preventing nausea and vomiting.

In some cases, Perinorm Syrup 60 ml may cause common side-effects such as restlessness, fatigue, drowsiness, diarrhoea, weakness, and lassitude (lack of energy). Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if the side effects persist or worsen.

Do not take Perinorm Syrup 60 ml for more than 3 months as it might increase the risk of tardive dyskinesia (movement disorder). Consult your doctor before taking Perinorm Syrup 60 ml if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.

Disease/Condition Glossary

Nausea/Vomiting: Nausea is an uneasy feeling in which the person feels an urge to vomit, whereas vomiting is an uncontrollable reflex that expels the contents of the stomach through the mouth. Nausea and vomiting may occur separately or together. The common causes include motion sickness, emotional stress, indigestion, food poisoning, high fever or overeating. Nausea/vomiting might also occur as an unpleasant effect of therapy, such as chemotherapy and radiation therapy. 

Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD): The stomach is usually protected from acid by a mucous layer. In some cases, due to excess acid production, the mucous layer gets eroded, which leads to complications like GERD, acidity, and peptic ulcers. Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) occurs when stomach acid frequently flows back into the food pipe (oesophagus). This backflow (acid reflux) irritates the food pipe and causes heartburn.

Diabetic gastroparesis: Diabetic gastroparesis is delayed gastric emptying in people with diabetes. Gastroparesis, also called delayed gastric emptying is a condition that occurs when the stomach takes too long to empty the food into the intestine. Symptoms include nausea, vomiting, indigestion, loss of appetite, bloating and heartburn.
