Reglan® Attorney

(800) 664-3381

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.
