This is an anti-emetic that works by inhibiting gastric smooth muscle relaxation caused by dopamine. It improves the response of the gastrointestinal smooth muscles to cholinergic stimulation, which leads to an increase of gastric emptying into the intestines. This also antagonizes the dopamine D2 receptors in the medulla which prevents nausea and vomiting. It selectively inhibits enzyme function in the brain which allows it to treat pain and fever. Also, it activates certain receptors in the brain that inhibit pain signals.
