The disposition of metoclopramide was studied on a four-way crossover basis in six healthy non-smoking volunteers. The linearity of kinetic parameters and absolute bioavailability of metoclopramide were examined. In contrast to previous reports, metoclopramide obeyed linear kinetics over oral doses ranging from 5 to 20 mg. The absolute bioavailability of metoclopramide was 0.76 +/- 0.38 (mean +/- s.d.) from the oral dosage forms examined in this study.
