What are grounds for Reglan litigation?
A. Reglan is prescribed to those suffering from reflux-related conditions. However, Reglan and other products containing metoclopramide are only safe under certain circumstances. First, Reglan should only be used after other therapies have failed. In addition, Reglan should only be used for a short period of time, usually no more than three months. Unfortunately, Reglan drug companies did not make these circumstances well-known to physician and patients, which caused many patients to take Reglan for a long, unsafe period of time. Long-term Reglan use can cause tardive dyskinesia, a neurological disorder that causes involuntary movements.
