Reglan Lawsuit

Tardive Dyskinesia is a horrible, devastating and sometimes lifelong syndrome for those diagnosed. It affects its victims physically, mentally, socially, emotionally, and vocationally. The worst thing about Tardive dyskinesia is the fact that they should have never developed the syndrome in the first place. Tardive Dyskinesia usually occurs after taking prescriptions like antipsychotic and some gastrointestinal drugs.

The manufacturers of Reglan and its generic metoclopramide mention the link between the development of Tardive dyskinesia and the drug on its labeling, suggest the incidence rarely occurs. The Food & Drug Administration has only approved Reglan for short-term use (4 to 12 weeks) and only when conservative treatment fails. Unfortunately, it has been suggested that approximately 1/3 of patients are taking Reglan for 12 months or longer.

Long-term use can cause serious Metoclopramide side effects, including Tardive dyskinesia. Two separate studies have determined that the development of Tardive dyskinesia in long-term Reglan users lies between 27 and 29 percent.
