Risks of Taking Reglan

Reglan is a metoclopramide drug that has been linked to serious complications like tardive dyskinesia and other disorders that are similar to Parkinson's disease. Additionally, Reglan has been found to cause complications with the cardiovascular system.

In addition, Reglan's other potentially dangerous side effects include: 

• liver problems;
• arrhythmia;
• endocrine problems;
• Agranulocytosis;
• Aldosteronism;
• Neuroleptic malignant syndrome; and
• Hyperaldosteronism.  

Because of the risks of taking this dangerous prescription drug, the FDA instituted a black box warning for its severe and even fatal side effects. While Reglan can help treat digestive problems, the benefits may not be worth the drug's risks.

If you have been injured by taking Reglan, you may now be facing additional medical problems along with costly medical expenses. If taking Reglan has resulted in serious injury, you may be entitled to receive compensation for your medical bills and lost wages, along with other damages like pain and suffering.
