Hi , my friend's vet gave him the 2 following meds for his kitten : Primperan (Metoclopramide) and Bactrim (Trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole) . Both are humans drugs , and the first one : Primperan is for adults only (18 and more) because it may cause neurological disorders on kids. is it safe to give them to the cat? Thanks

Metoclopramide is frequently used to treat vomiting and other gastrointestinal issues in dogs and cats. It typically is well tolerated, with some pets exhibiting hyperactivity, lethargy or constipation as side effects.
