The maker of the prescription drug reglan has been hit with hundreds if not thousands of lawsuits by women who were injured by the drug.

There are many adverse side effects associated with reglan, ranging from mild to severe. Side effects include restlessness, drowsiness, fatigue, insomnia, headache, dizziness, as well as mental depression with suicidal ideation.  The most common side effect cited in the lawsuits is Tardive Dyskinesia.

Tardive Dyskinesia is a potentially irreversible and disfiguring disorder characterized by involuntary movements of the face, tongue and extremities. Some studies have shown that Tardive Dyskinesia is present in 20 percent of patients who used the drug for at least 12 weeks.

Medicine is used for the treatment of health problems, but irresponsible actions by drug companies can result in drugs doing more harm than good. If you have suffered injuries caused by the gastrointestinal drug Reglan, you may be able to pursue legal action against the manufacturer.
