Reglan Injury Lawyers

Reglan is a medication used to treat gastrointestinal disorders. In 2009, the manufacturer of the drug was required to add a black box warning regarding the risk of long term use of the drug, as well as high-dosage use. If you have been injured by the use of Reglan, contact us today.

What is Reglan?

Many patients who took the drug are now living with tardive dyskinesia, a condition in which the person has involuntary repetitive movements of the body, including face, tongue, and limbs.

These movements are uncontrollable, and do not reverse when the drug leaves the system: the damage is often impossible to reverse, and leaves the patient in disfigured. This is only one of various serious conditions that are now associated with Reglan.

Reglan's Uses and Side Effects

Reglan has been approved to treat gastroesophageal reflux (acid reflux), but only when the patient has not responded to other conventional therapies. It is also used to treat diabetic patients who are suffering from gastric stasis (fluid retention in the stomach).

After Reglan came on the market, some users reported significant side effects after long-term use or high dosages. The manufacturer was required to warn consumers and health care providers of the risk of a patient developing tardive dyskinesia. The company now warns against taking the medication for more than 12 weeks for this reason.

Some patients who were prescribed Reglan to resolve a stomach condition are now living with a terrible and permanent condition known as tardive dyskinesia, a neurological disorder, according to the Mayo Clinic.

This condition leaves people with abnormal voluntary or involuntary movements, or slowed, reduced movements, which is often irreversible.
