Reglan treatment can be rather challenging — medically, emotionally, and financially. This prescription-only drug is used for a variety of purposes (both FDA-approved and "off-label"), and it is difficult to predict how an individual's Reglan treatment will affect him or her, but a number of points can be made:

Reglan treatment is generally effective. Its active ingredient, metoclopramide, is a proven anti-emetic (an agent that prevents or reduces nausea and vomiting) and a prokinetic agent (that is, it helps the gastric system empty the stomach and intestines more quickly).

Reglan treatment has been administered to patients with:

• delayed chemotherapy-induced nausea
• gastric paresis (a disorder in which the gastric system is not moving well; common among diabetics)
• gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)
• vomiting after tonsillectomy (post-anesthesia, even for children)

Reglan Treatment before Anesthesia

Additionally, Reglan treatment has been given before the induction of anesthesia, for:

• obese patients
• patients who have recently eaten
• trauma patients
• women giving birth, particularly those with a history of esophagitis (heartburn)

The Reglan treatment may be in the form of oral tablets, Reglan syrup, or in solution for subcutaneous (intramuscular) or intravenous injections, depending on the medical condition for which the treatment is administered.

Problems Linked to Reglan Treatment

There are quite a number of troublesome and even dangerous Reglan side effects during treatment. The Warnings section provided on the Prescribing Information for Reglan drug is extensive, and includes such problems as post-Reglan treatment dystonia — a condition characterized by:

• involuntary writhing and twisting movement of the body
• abnormal postures
• repetitive movements caused by sustained muscle contractions

Reglan Treatment and Tardive Dyskinesia

The FDA recently stepped in to publicly warn healthcare consumers of a particularly alarming potential side effect of Reglan treatment — tardive dyskinesia, a severe movement disorder for which there is no cure. When the symptoms of tardive dyskinesia develop, they may be observed during the Reglan treatment or after ending the treatment.
