Our Reglan lawyers are investigating injury lawsuits on behalf patients who have suffered serious injuries as a result of the medication. Reglan is made of metoclopramide, a serious compound used in the treatment of gastrointestinal problems from nausea associated with pregnancy to stomach disorders associated with diabetes and acid reflux. When used for an extended period of time or in large doses, Reglan has serious side effects.
Its main active ingredient, metoclopramide, is associated with depression and the neurological disorder, tardive dyskinesia (TD). TD is a serious condition that can come and go throughout the patient’s lifetime. At its worst, it can lead to embarrassment, depression, isolation, and the inability to maintain employment or a healthy, happy life.
Available only by prescription, Reglan was prescribed to women to deal with the nausea that characterizes pregnancy and patients who suffer from acid reflux. However, after many patients began to exhibit the often debilitating symptoms of tardive dyskinesia, the US Food and Drug Administration began to look into the drug.
After studies showed a strong connection between metoclopramide and tardive dyskinesia, the FDA ordered that a black box warning accompany the other pertinent information on the Reglan label. The FDA's black box warning is the most serious warning issued by the agency.
Though the FDA requires this serious warning on the labels, the manufacturer of Reglan has not issued a recall on the drug. Instead, they strenuously defend the drug’s effectiveness and safety in adults, in small doses, and when taken over a short period of time.
Patients who suffer from tardive dyskinesia as a result of taking Reglan have filed lawsuits against the manufacturer of Reglan. Patients use these lawsuits to recoup financial losses from expensive medical bills and lost wages. These lawsuits also help them achieve justice after suffering from the embarrassment, loneliness, and depression that coincides with the most severe symptoms of tardive dyskinesia.
Have you been diagnosed with tardive dyskinesia after taking Reglan metoclopramide oral solution or tablets? Contact a qualified Reglan lawyer experienced in handling these types of personal injury cases. Join other patients who suffer the effects of tardive dyskinesia from taking Reglan in large doses or for extended periods of time. Get the justice you deserve.
