If you have taken Reglan recently and are starting to show symptoms of Tardiv Dyskinesia, then you might be eligible for a claim against the maker of Reglan in litigation.

It has been discovered that users of Reglan are showing signs of having Tardiv Dyskinesia, a severe movement disorder that is turning lives inside out. Tardive Dyskinesia affects the muscles in a person’s face, arms and legs, resulting in the person making involuntary movements which can cause great discomfort and possible social ostracization. People with this dreaded disorder are known to display movements such as:

  • Smacking Lips
  • Tongue Protruding
  • Blinking Eyes and/or Bulging
  • Head Jerking
  • Grimacing Face
  • Lips Puckering and Pursing
  • Moving Fingers Involuntarily

This disorder makes their lives miserable and can in most cases prevent them from socializing properly or even holding down a regular job.

Reglan Used to Treat Heartburn

Those who took Reglan did so in hopes of  temporary relief from heartburn or Gastroesophageal Reflux. It is supposed to stimulate muscles located in the gastrointestinal tract. However, two studies show that Reglan use resulted in about 27 to 29 percent of long-term users of the drug developing Tardiv Dyskinesia. The Food and Drug Administration placed a black box warning on Reglan, the sternest warning the FDA can issue.

Many Filing for Lawsuits

With users of Reglan showing signs of having Dyskinesia Tardive, many have started to file Reglan lawsuits in hopes of obtaining compensation for damage the drug has caused. An experienced lawyer can help clients wade through the legal maze of a Reglan law suit and give sufferers of Tardiv Dyskinesia the best chance of receiving compensation. 

At this time, there is no cure for Tardiv Dyskinesia. The pain of this disorder can be felt physically as well as emotionally. It also causes financial distress because of the person’s inability to hold down a job or socialize with others. The embarrassment and pain of having this movement disorder cannot be measured in dollars and cents.  However, a good lawyer can put things into perspective for a judge or a jury and tell them how this disorder has destroyed the person’s life. Contracting a disorder such as Tardiv Dyskinesia is a terrible price to pay for taking a drug that was supposed to relieve heartburn.
