Reglan® Reviews

800-664-3381

Generically known as metoclopramide, Reglan® is an oral medication that may be prescribed to treat:

• diabetic gastroparesis, a delay in the movement of food from the stomach to the intestines
• gastrointestinal reflux disease (GERD), a condition in which stomach acid backs up into the esophagus and results in heartburn and chest pain
• lactation complications in new mothers.

In many cases, patients report that Reglan® is effective at reducing nausea, vomiting, heartburn and chest pain.

However, in rare instances, Reglan® can cause some mild to severe side effects, some of which may be life threatening.

Anyone injured after taking Reglan® will likely have a legal claim against Schwartz Pharma, the makers of Reglan®. Prospective plaintiffs can find out if they are entitled to a settlement by meeting with an experienced Relgan attorney.

Reviews of Reglan® Side Effects

When Reglan® side effects arise, in most cases, they are mild and will clear up when the course of Reglan® is finished. Reglan® reviews of minor, fleeting side effects have involved:

• breast swelling
• changes in menstrual cycles
• diarrhea
• dizziness
• drowsiness
• fatigue
• headache
• increased frequency or urination
• insomnia (or other sleeping problems)
• nausea
• restlessness.

Unfortunately, some Reglan® reviews have reported the development of more serious side effects, including:

• agranulocytosis, a condition characterized by 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.

Reglan® Reviews: Withdrawal Symptoms

Some patients have reported experiencing some withdrawal symptoms after stopping a course of Reglan®. Headaches, dizziness and/or nervousness are the most commonly reported withdrawal symptoms listed in Reglan® reviews.

To minimize the chances of developing Reglan® withdrawal symptoms, it's important that patients work with their doctors to develop an appropriate regimen for taking and discontinuing use of Reglan®.

Following Negative Reglan® Reviews…

Patients injured after taking Reglan® should:

• Seek immediate medical attention to prevent further health complications.
• Work with their doctor to find an alternative to the Reglan® drug.
• Meet with an experienced Reglan® lawyer, once their health is stable, to find out if they are entitled to a settlement for their injuries and losses.

To encourage injured parties to learn more about their legal rights, Reglan® attorneys offer these consultations for free. As further incentive, Reglan® lawyers will delay payment for their services until (or unless) the case is won.
