Get Sound Advice from a Qualified Defective Drug Attorney
Reglan is a drug that has been on the market under a variety of names since the 1980s. It can be administered in pill or IV form and is most frequently prescribed to treat gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) as well as nausea associated with morning sickness and other conditions. Reglan is also known by its generic name, Metoclopramide.
When Reglan first came on the market, the warnings claimed that there was a one percent chance of the patient developing tardive dyskinesia, an involuntary movement disorder that typically involves constant swaying and other forms of uncontrollable movement. This research was based on a relatively short period of usage, however, and further research showed that longer treatment cycles of more than 12 weeks increased the risk to as high as a 20 percent chance.
Had proper research been done early on to determine all of the side effects associated with the long-term use of Reglan, doctors could have made more informed recommendations, patients could have made more informed decisions and the vast majority of these tragic cases could have been avoided.
