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®.
