Get Started:
Reglan IV (intravenous injectable) has been used for many years in the U.S. for a variety of reasons, including:
Reglan use for GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease) and nausea/vomiting treatment is generally by an oral route (tablet or syrup) rather than IV.
The details of an IV administration of Reglan (e.g., how many times, over what period of time, and the dosage) depend in part on the reason for the Reglan treatment, and on patient factors such as age, weight and physical stability. The compatibility of Reglan with other drugs that a patient is receiving is another concern.
A patient may be administered a single IV push of Reglan, or several IV injections over a period of hours or days.
Reglan IV (metoclopramide) is available as two-milliliter (2 mL), 10-mL and 30-mL single-dose vials, each with five milligrams of the active ingredient — metoclopramide — a drug with the following properties:
The dosing for Reglan IV is quite important, especially when using Reglan to treat infants or the elderly. Reglan is typically supplied in 5 mg and 10 mg formulations, but no dosage of Reglan is FDA-approved for the treatment of children or infants.
The manufacturer of Reglan IV is the A.H. Robins Company, based in Richmond, Virginia. This company has faced many lawsuits over its drugs and medical devices — such as the Dalkon Shield, a very unsafe intrauterine contraceptive that was taken off the market in the 1970s.
If you became ill after being treated with Reglan, via IV or an oral tablet, it is important for you to speak with an experienced attorney for defective drugs and medical devices. A Reglan lawyer can help you recover compensation for any losses you incurred following a Reglan treatment.
