Prescribed anti-sickness drug leads to disability: Petra's Story

Petra Walker-Barrera was given metoclopramide after struggling with nausea, with GPs continuing to issue the anti-sickness drug despite NHS advice that it is only taken for five-days. Prolonged usage has left her wheelchair-bound and with lifelong vision, speech and movement problems.

Metaclopromide, and all the other anticholinergic medications, has potentially very serious side effects, and should never be taken long term.
Please investigate natural remedies, and dietary changes, and if you really need medication for nausea, take 1/4 of the dose, increasing only if necessary.
Best wishes to Petra!

The neasea is a symptom of something. Could be neurological could be a deficiency could be a digestive issue allergy anything. If the doctor isnt looking for the cause of your nausea while treating it he sucks. I once bought a medication for travel sickness and was shocked by the possible side effects sounding so much worse than feeling a bit sick or dizzy. I got given a medication that had been banned the were before. There is no mechanism to disseminate the information to doctors when something is banned. Disgraceful.
