1. What Cleboril Pediatric is and what it is used for
Cleboril Pediatric contains clebopride and belongs to a group of medicines that act on an area of the brain that prevents nausea or vomiting.
Cleboril Pediatric is indicated in children from 1 year of age for the symptomatic treatment of nausea and vomiting, including those induced by antineoplastic chemotherapy.
2. What you need to know before taking Cleboril Pediatric
Do not take Cleboril Pediatric:
- If you are allergic to clebopride or any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6).
- If you have bleeding, obstruction, or perforation of the gastrointestinal tract, as stimulation of gastric motility may be harmful.
- If you suffer from abnormal and involuntary movements (tardive dyskinesia) that appear in people being treated with a type of medicine called neuroleptics.
- If you suffer from seizures (epilepsy).
- If you suffer from Parkinson's disease or other extrapyramidal disorders (which cause alterations in muscle tone, posture, and the appearance of involuntary movements).
Warnings and precautions
Consult your doctor or pharmacist before taking Cleboril Pediatric:
- If you have severe liver or kidney disease (severe hepatic or renal insufficiency), as it may increase the effect of this medicine.
- If you have certain tumors, such as breast tumors or prolactin-secreting pituitary adenoma, as it may increase the level of a hormone called prolactin in the blood.
Children and adolescents
In children and adolescents, the use of higher doses than recommended may increase the possibility of extrapyramidal reactions (alterations in muscle tone, posture, and the appearance of involuntary movements).
In newborns, cases of acquired methemoglobinemia (a blood disorder that affects the ability to transport oxygen) due to orthopramides (a group of medicines to which Cleboril Pediatric belongs) have been described.
Other medicines and Cleboril Pediatric
Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking, have recently taken, or might take any other medicines.
It is especially important that you inform your doctor if you are taking any of the following medicines:
- Phenothiazines, butyrophenones, and other antidopaminergics (used to treat certain mental illnesses) as Cleboril Pediatric may increase the effect of these medicines on the central nervous system.
- Digoxin (used to treat heart diseases) and cimetidine (used in situations where it is necessary to decrease acid production by the stomach) as Cleboril Pediatric decreases their effects.
- Hypnotics (medicines that improve sleep initiation and duration), anxiolytics (reduce anxiety), or narcotics (used to treat moderate or severe pain) as Cleboril Pediatric may potentiate their sedative effects.
- Anticholinergics (such as atropine, used to relieve stomach cramps or spasms, to treat Parkinson's disease, or to prevent travel sickness) or narcotic analgesics (opioids) as they neutralize the action of Cleboril Pediatric on gastrointestinal motility.
- MAOIs (used to treat depression), as their use with Cleboril Pediatric may increase the risk of adverse effects.
Taking Cleboril Pediatric with alcohol
Alcohol should be avoided while being treated with Cleboril Pediatric, as it may potentiate its sedative effects.
Pregnancy and breastfeeding

There is not enough information on the use of this medicine in pregnant or breastfeeding women. As a precaution, it is recommended to avoid its use during pregnancy, especially in the first three months, and breastfeeding.
