Our tardive dyskinesia lawyers are investigating cases, nationwide, on behalf of individuals who have developed the movement disorder, tardive dyskinesia, after taking medications prescribed to treat their psychiatric disorder or another condition.

What is Tardive Dyskinesia?

Tardive dyskinesia, in most cases, is irreversible. It is a movement disorder marked by the inability to control the body’s movements. Some of the most common signs and symptoms of tardive dyskinesia include:

• Grimacing
• Rapid, uncontrollable blinking
• Tongue protrusion, Lip smacking
• Uncontrolled movement of the arms, legs and torso
• Diminished movement of the fingers

Reglan And Tardive Dyskinesia

This movement disorder has been linked to long-term use of neuroleptic drugs such as Reglan (metoclopramide). Reglan is prescribed to treat patients battling psychiatric disorders and is also used to relieve gastroesophoageal reflux disease (GERD) in patients who haven’t responded to other treatments.

Reglan has been directly linked to the development of tardive dyskinesia, especially in patients who use the drug longer than 12 weeks. In fact, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) required manufacturers of the drug to add a “black box” warning to the drug’s packaging information in February 2009 regarding the risk of tardive dyskinesia.
