For those suffering from heartburn, Reglan (also know as metoclopramide) seemed like an answer to their prayers. Reglan was supposed to provide relief from the burning sensation that results from gastrophageal reflux as well as helping diabetes patients with slow gastric emptying or diabetic gastroparesis. However, Reglan was discovered to cause an awful disease called Dyskinesia Tardive.
Dyskinesia Tardive can cause a patient to display involuntary movements in the extremities, uncontrollable grimacing, protruding tongue and other similar body movements. Dyskinesia Tardive can also cause pain in a person’s hands. Not only can this cause a person discomfort and pain, it also carries with it a social stigma which can cause embarrassment and ostracization. Many patients who suffer from Tardive Dyskinesia have to live apart from others because their condition can cause others to repel from them.
This prompted the Food and Drug Administration to issue a black box warning for Reglan, the strongest warning the FDA can issue.
There are Answers
For those suffering from Dyskinesia Tardive, there may not seem like there are any answers because there is no known cure for the disease. Even after patients stop taking Reglan, the symptoms are known to continue. Some of those who took Reglan thinking it would help prevent heartburn have instead ended up with this terrible disease and are now seeking the services of a Reglan lawyer. These attorneys are combating the drug’s manufacturer in litigation to obtain a fair settlement for those who suffer from Dyskinesia Tardive as a result from taking Reglan.
An estimated 250,000 to 400,000 people in the United States alone suffer from Dyskinesia Tardive. Many of those patients are finding some sort of hope thanks to a U.S. Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals ruling which said patients can sue generic drug makers under state law if they failed to provide proper warnings about potential side effects of drugs. Reglan falls under that category. Now those who have Dyskinesia Tardive from taking Reglan could possibly obtain compensation for not being adequately warned about the side effects of Reglan.

Living with an involuntary muscle movement disorder such as dyskinesia tardive can be extremely challenging for anyone, and indeed, a great deal of daily suffering may be experienced by those with this disorder. However, if it is suspected that the involuntary muscle movement disorder was caused by the prescription drug Reglan, also known as Metoclopramide, then there is no question that a skilled Reglan lawyer should be contacted sooner rather than later.
Those suffering from dyskinesia tardive must cope with almost constant involuntary muscle movements of the face, arms, legs, and fingers, and there is no doubt that these uncontrollable muscle movements can make daily life a real struggle. Aside from the obvious physical challenges which must be faced, there may also be tremendous emotional pain associated with the involuntary muscle movement disorder as the physical realities of the disorder may be too overwhelming for many and can cause severe depression. This misery could even be worsened if the involuntary muscle movement disorder causes the sufferer to lose his or her job. Without a doubt, a great deal of pain and anguish can exist after developing dyskinesia tardive, and if this suffering was caused by a prescription drug and the negligence of the drug’s manufacturer, then appropriate compensation should be provided to the victims, but this compensation simply can’t occur without the help of a skilled lawyer who can pursue a Reglan lawsuit on behalf of the sufferer.
