Reglan (metoclopramide) is often used "off-label" to treat vomiting in dogs and cats. In Internet forums, a collie's death due to Reglan treatment is described, much to the heartache of pet lovers everywhere. Reglan was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) only for use in adult humans with certain medical conditions, such as:

• severe gastroesophageal reflux
• nausea and vomiting that does not respond to other treatments
• diabetic gastric paresis

Reglan was not designed to be used in children, infants, dogs or cats. Such Reglan treatment is not illegal, but it is not recommended by the FDA or by the makers of Reglan, the pharmaceutical company Schwarz Pharma.

How Do Reglan Deaths Occur?

The active ingredient of Reglan is metoclopramide, a drug that is anti-emetic (that is, it combats nausea and vomiting) and prokinetic (it helps the gastric system function well). Metoclopramide is marketed under various names in additionto Reglan, including:

• Degan
• Maxeran
• Maxolon
• Primperan
• Pylomid

Increasing the Absorption of Other Drugs

Metoclopramide's prokinetic ability — increasing the action of the stomach and intestines — can affect the way that other drugs are absorbed by a human or animal. This can be very dangerous. A metoclopramide/Reglan death can occur when another drug's intended effects are maximized by the Reglan medication.

Reglan Death based on Side Effects

In addition, several of Reglan's side effects can be quite dangerous to a dog or cat; for example, Reglan treatment may cause behavior changes, staggering/movement problems, sleepiness and severe constipation in an animal. A Reglan-related death of a pet should be considered in light of these symptoms.

Animals may be administered Reglan in an oral form (as a tablet or a dissolving tablet) or as a Reglan injection. A once-daily 10-mg dose of Reglan for a pet's severe vomiting or diarrhea is a common treatment.

If Your Pet Suffered a Reglan-related Death
