Reglan Class Action Lawsuit

Reglan (metoclopramide) helps alleviate the symptoms of conditions such as heartburn and nausea often felt during pregnancy or chemotherapy. While drugs containing metoclopramide can help ease nausea, the chemical is also known to cause a serious condition called tardive dyskinesia. Many patients who have experienced the ill side effects of Reglan have filed lawsuits seeking compensation for their damages.

Whether a private lawsuit or joining a Reglan class action lawsuit with individuals who have suffered similar side effects is right for you can be determined by a qualified attorney for defective drugs. For information about your specific circumstances and legal options, contact a Reglan attorney in your area today.

Reglan (metoclopramide) Class Action Lawsuit

Tardive dyskinesia is an incurable neurological disorder characterized by frequent involuntary movements on the part of the patient. These involuntary movements affect the arms, legs, hands, feet and face and can cause embarrassment and make it difficult to work, particularly if the position entails precise movements.

Until the FDA required the manufacturer to post a Black Box warning — the FDA’s most serious warning —on the bottles of Reglan and other drugs containing metoclopramide, patients had no idea of their risks for tardive dyskinesia. Many trusted the drug’s safety and depended on it to alleviate their nausea so that they could function in their lives.

Patients were blindsided when they began to feel their limbs and face twitch uncontrollably, making them feel uncomfortable. Feelings of discomfort and embarrassment spread into their daily lives and affected their personal and work relationships. Over time medical bills began to pile up for treatments to control their movements. Despite the negative side effects and requirement of a Black Box warning on the label, the manufacturer has never issued a recall of Reglan.

To recoup monetary losses from missed work and medical bills, patients and loved ones of patients affected by tardive dyskinesia from taking Reglan have contacted attorneys and filed lawsuits. Some of these suits were combined to form a larger Reglan Class Action suit against the manufacturer.
