  • Reglan Attorney - Providing Help for Victims of Reglan

    Gastrointestinal disorders can be painful, can leave a patient in danger of dehydration and can ultimately lead to malnourishment if any of the specific disorders go unchecked for too long. It's unknown how many people in the United States suffer from some sort of GI problem, as many of them never get diagnosed.

    However, for those that do seek medical help, medication is readily available that's designed to help alleviate the symptoms often associated with GI disorders, including nausea, vomiting and loss of appetite. Unfortunately, one of the active ingredients in many of the drugs used for GI disorders has been identified as extremely problematic, and Reglan is one of the prominent brand names that's come under public scrutiny.

    Below is an overview of the issue that surrounds the use of Reglan.

    About Reglan

    Reglan is manufactured by Wyeth, Inc. and is used to treat common GI disorders, including acid reflux among others. The active ingredient in Reglan that's used in several brand names and the generic equivalents is metoclopramide. While this ingredient has proved to be effective in treating GI problems, it has also been linked to the development of serious side effects.

    Reglan Side Effects

    There have been several side effects and warning symptoms associated with Reglan, but the most severe is tardive dyskinesia, which is a rare condition that features involuntary motor and muscle movements. These movements not only continue well after the drug is no longer used, but the condition appears to be irreversible.

    Symptoms that should prompt you to seek immediate medical help include:
    • Restless muscle movements
    • Fever
    • Rapid breathing
    • Sweating
    • Irregular heartbeats
    • Depression
    • Suicidal thoughts
    • General anxiety
    Ultimately, the FDA required a strict warning to be placed on all medications containing metoclopramide, and if you have been harmed as a result of using any products with the name 'Reglan' attached, contact Parilman & Associates immediately to schedule a free initial consultation.
