Long-term use of Reglan and generic forms of metoclopramide has been linked to Tardive Dyskinesia, a serious involuntary and repetitive movement disorder that is often irreversible. A recent study cited by the FDA, reports the prevalence of Tardive Dyskinesia at 20 percent among patients treated with Reglan for at least 12 weeks. In February 2009, the FDA issued a Black Box warning against continued use of Reglan to treat gastrointestinal disorders.

ReglanJustice.com is meant to provide consumers with the critical information denied to them by the pharmaceutical manufacturers marketing these drugs. For those consumers who have already been disabled by these products, ReglanJustice.com provides an avenue to seek legal redress.
