Reglan and Hormonal Imbalance
Reglan, or metoclopramide, is typically used to treat heartburn and other types of gastrointestinal difficulties. In 2009, the FDA approved additional safety labeling that warns of the increased risk of neuromuscular disorders such as tardive dyskinesia the longer the drug is used. This movement disorder has gained some attention, but unfortunately the hormonal side effects of Reglan are less recognized.
By blocking certain receptors in the brain, Reglan poses a threat to numerous systems in the body. If you have experienced any strange hormonal symptoms after taking Reglan, you might be entitled to compensation for the pain and suffering.

Sexual Dysfunction from Hormonal Imbalance
Frustratingly, hormonal imbalances can affect many different areas of the body, including reproductive systems. The sexual and hormonal trouble from Reglan or metoclopramide can affect both men and women. In females, menstrual irregularities may occur, including changes in the timing and duration of menstruation. Some female patients may also experience excessive breast tenderness.
Male patients may become impotent as a result of taking Reglan. In addition, there is the more alarming condition of gynecomastia, or the enlarging of male breasts.
