What you should know about Reglan: Reglan works by affecting the lower esophageal sphincter pressure, which then helps to improve gastrointestinal emptying. The FDA has only approved Reglan for short-term treatment (between 4 and 12 weeks) of these conditions, and only after conservative methods of treatment have failed. Unfortunately, prescription trends prove that many patients are prescribed Reglan for longer than 12 weeks (often for years), which is against FDA recommendations. We believe the manufacturers of Reglan are well aware of these extended prescription trends. If you have been taking Reglan (metoclopramide) for over 12 weeks you are at risk of being diagnosed with Tardive Dyskinesia. |
Reglan side effects: Side effects include but are not limited to: • Jaw movements In some established cases of Tardive Dyskinesia, Reglan (Metoclopramide) have been shown to mask the signs and not become apparent until discontinuation of the drug. |
There is no known treatment for established cases of Tardive Dyskinesia. Those diagnosed with Tardive Dyskinesia may have a lifelong battle. Even when Reglan (Metoclopramide) is stopped, the patient should not assume they will recover. Symptoms of Tardive Dyskinesia can be permanent. There are drugs that can be prescribed to treat Tardive Dyskinesia, but these drugs have their own risks and side effects, and cannot cure the condition, but only limit the symptoms somewhat.
