Reglan Injury Help
If you have suffered adverse side effects as a result of using Reglan or generic metoclopramide, you may be eligible for financial compensation.
In February 2009, the FDA warned that Reglan/metoclopramide has been linked to tardive dyskinesia, a neurological movement disorder:
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration announced today that manufacturers of metoclopramide, a drug used to treat gastrointestinal disorders, must add a boxed warning to their drug labels about the risk of its long-term or high-dose use. Chronic use of metoclopramide has been linked to tardive dyskinesia, which may include involuntary and repetitive movements of the body, even after the drugs are no longer taken.
- FDA, February 26, 2009.
Why should I file a lawsuit?
You can be awarded money to help pay for your past and future medical expenses, including treatment for the adverse side effects of Reglan/metoclopramide. Taking legal action may help prevent drug companies from injuring others in the future.
Will the lawsuit be filed against my doctor?
No. The lawsuit will be filed against the manufacturer of the drug; the lawsuit will NOT be filed against your doctor.
Will I have to travel or appear in court?
Most Reglan lawsuits will settle out of court – you probably will not have to travel or appear in court.
