Guest guest Posted November 4, 2004 Report Share Posted November 4, 2004 http://www.reglan-lawsuit.com/ Reglan Lawsuit Background Information on Reglan Reglan (metoclopramide) is most commonly prescribed to patients suffering from gastroesophageal reflux. The FDA has approved the pharmaceutical for short-term use (4 to 12 weeks) and only when conservative treatment fails. Reglan Side Effects In spite of the fact that the FDA has approved Reglan only for short-term use, approximately one-third of patients are being prescribed the medication for 12 months or longer. Long-term use can cause serious side effects, including tardive dyskinesia, a neurological disorder which causes involuntary movements of the tongue, mouth, face, lips and sometimes arms, trunk or legs. Although the labeling for Reglan and generic metoclopramide mentions tardive dyskinesia, the labeling suggests that it rarely occurs. Notwithstanding this statement by these drug companies, two studies have determined the prevalence of tardive dyskinesia is between 27 percent and 29 percent in long-term users. If you have taken this pharmaceutical for an extended period of time, you may be at a greater risk of developing tardive dyskinesia.
