4 Serious Side Effects of Reglan Use
Reglan is a prescription drug often used for chronic heartburn or gastroesophageal reflux disease. Although Reglan can help some patients by aiding in digestion and preventing heartburn, this drug does come with serious side effects that leave many people with permanent disabilities.
If you or your loved one has developed an adverse health condition due to taking Reglan, you may be entitled to restitution for medical bills and pain and suffering. Learn about your rights to compensation by contacting a Reglan lawsuit lawyer of Williams Kherkher at 800-761-3187.
Complications from Reglan
Unfortunately, even the relatively minor side effects caused by Reglan can be serious. However, Reglan has been linked to diseases related to involuntary muscle movement, which are even more serious and debilitating for Reglan users. Reglan has been connected to the following four ailments:
- Tardive Dyskinesia – causes involuntary muscle movements, usually in the face, legs, or arms
- Tardive Dystonia – causes painful and involuntary muscle spasms that can lead to postural and movement-related difficulties
- Neuroleptic Malignant Syndrome (NMS) – a deadly condition characterized by symptoms such as unstable blood pressure and tachycardia
- Cervical Dystonia – causes abnormal and painful muscle movement, particularly in the neck
Sadly, while some treatment may help lessen your symptoms, these conditions are often permanent. This may force you to stop working or participating in activities you once enjoyed.
