Why should Reglan not be prescribed?
Do not take Reglan if you are sensitive to it or have ever had an allergic reaction to it. You should not take Reglan if you have a condition such as obstruction, perforation, or hemorrhage of the stomach or small bowel that might be aggravated by increased stomach and small-bowel movement. If you have pheochromocytoma (a nonmalignant tumor that causes hypertension), do not take Reglan; it could trigger a dangerous jump in blood pressure. Do not take Reglan if you have epilepsy; it could increase the frequency and severity of seizures. If you are taking a drug that is likely to cause side effects such as tremors, jerks, grimaces, or writhing movements, do not take Reglan; it could make such symptoms more severe. Reglan is not recommended for patients under 18 years of age.
