Consumer:

DiphenhydrAMINE may reduce the effects of metoclopramide. Contact your doctor if your symptoms worsen or your condition changes during treatment with these medications. Your doctor may be able to prescribe alternatives that do not interact. It is important to tell your doctor about all other medications you use, including vitamins and herbs. Do not stop using any medications without first talking to your doctor

Professional:

GENERALLY AVOID: Anticholinergic agents and other agents with significant anticholinergic activity (e.g., clozapine, class IA antiarrhythmics especially disopyramide) may antagonize the pharmacologic effects of gastrointestinal prokinetic agents. Gastrokinetic drugs such as domperidone and metoclopramide increase gastrointestinal motility by blocking peripheral dopamine receptors. Anticholinergic agents could negate this action.

MANAGEMENT: Concomitant use of gastrointestinal prokinetic agents with anticholinergic agents should be avoided, if possible.
