Reglan Attorney

800-889-3898 

Reglan attorneys are personal injury attorneys who specialize in building lawsuits and winning compensation for anyone injured after taking Reglan, a medication prescribed for various gastrointestinal disorders.

Generically known as metoclopramide, the Reglan drug is produced by Schwarz Pharma and may also be sold under the following brand names:

• Degan by Lek
• Maxeran by Sanofi Aventis
• Maxolon by Shire/Valeant
• Primperan by Sanofi Aventis
• Pylomid by Bosnalijek.

Reglan was first approved by the FDA in 1985 and may come in the form of tablets, syrup or injections.

Reglan Injuries

In most cases of Reglan side effects, the complications are minor, respond well to treatment (if needed) and will dissipate when patients stop taking the medication.

However, in rare instances, serious Reglan side effects may include:

• agranulocytosis, low levels of white blood cells (If left untreated, agranulocytosis can result in osteoporosis and other irreversible conditions.)
• aldosteronism, a condition in which the adrenal glands produce excessive hormones and cause low blood-potassium levels (If left untreated, aldosteronism can be fatal, as it may result in heart attack, heart failure, stroke or kidney failure.)
• depression and/or suicidal thoughts
• hallucinations
• jaundice
• neuroleptic malignant syndrome (NMS), a life-threatening neurological condition marked by delirium, fever and muscle rigidity
• seizures
• severe allergic reaction
• tachycardia, an arrhythmia marked by increased heart rate
• tardive dyskinesia, involuntary, repetitive writhing movements affecting the face, trunk and/or limbs.

If left untreated, most of these Reglan complications will be fatal.

FDA Reglan Warnings

On February 26, 2009, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a national Reglan warning, alerting the public that Schwarz Pharma was required to put "black box" warnings on Reglan packaging.

Black box warnings, the last step before a full-fledged recall, indicate that a drug has the potential to cause life-threatening side effects. Along with listing all possible side effects of a medication, black box warnings will also inform patients of known risk factors and what to do in the event of a medical emergency.

Meeting with a Reglan Attorney

Those injured after taking Reglan should meet with an experienced Reglan attorney to:

• Learn more about their legal rights.
• Find out if they have a legal claim against Schwarz Pharma.
• Learn more about the process of building and winning a Reglan lawsuit.
• Get advice regarding the best manner in which to pursue their claim, based on their individual needs and unique situation.

Plaintiffs who work with experienced Reglan attorneys will benefit from:

• access to specialists who can verify medical claims when expert testimony is needed
• professional representation in court, arbitration and/or medication proceedings.

To encourage injured parties to seek the settlements they deserve, Regan attorneys offer initial consultations for free and work on contingency – so no payment for legal services is due until or unless the case is won.
