A Reglan pump is sometimes prescribed for women who are experiencing severe, excessive nausea and vomiting during their pregnancies. The condition "hyperemesis gravidarum" is from the Greek words "hyper" (excess), "emesis" (vomiting), and the Latin word "gravida" (pregnant woman).

Many women experience morning-sickness nausea and even vomiting during their pregnancies, but in 1.5 to 3 percent of pregnancies, the woman suffers from such severe and persistent nausea/vomiting that she may develop dehydration, a fluid and electrolyte imbalance, metabolic problems and weight loss. These hyperemesis symptoms are more common in first pregnancies — and they usually resolve by the 16th week of the pregnancy — but they can be very dangerous to both the mother and the fetus if left untreated.

What Is a Reglan Pump?

A Reglan (metoclopramide) pump is a small (pocket-sized) microinfusion pump with a narrow tube connected to a syringe. The syringe is inserted subcutaneously (i.e., under the skin), usually in the thigh. The Reglan pump can be worn 24 hours a day, with occasional changes in the site of the insertion.

The Reglan dosage is infused at regular intervals, providing a low dose of Reglan to control the pump wearer's nausea and vomiting. A woman may experience some bruising and/or soreness from the injections and from constant use of the pump, but many women have said that the minor annoyances of the Reglan pump were worth the relief it provided from severe, debilitating nausea.

Matria and the Reglan Pump

The Reglan pump was provided to many pregnant women by the home healthcare company known as Matria. This company was united with two other healthcare companies in September 2008; the healthcare provider is now known as Alere.

The Reglan pump — no matter which company provides it — has the potential to cause severe Reglan related side effects and disorders in a pregnant woman, including the movement disorder described in a recent FDA advisory: tardive dyskinesia, or TD.

If you developed TD or another problem after being treated with a Reglan pump or any other metoclopramide medication (such as Maxolon, Primperan, Pylomid, Maxeran, and Degan), contact us today.
