What are the dangers of Reglan/metoclopramide?
Tardive Dyskinesia is the most serious and potentially irreversible side effect of long-term use of Reglan. This disorder manifests itself in repeated, involuntary movements of the limbs, facial grimacing, torticollis, blinking, rhythmic protrusion of the tongue and similar movements. It often becomes more serious the longer a user remains on the drug. Unfortunately, the drug itself can “mask” or hide these movements/symptoms while the user is on the drug, and it may not be until her or she is taken off the drug that the full effects are seen.
