Reglan and Intimate Relationships
Reglan is a brand name for the drug metoclopramide. Metoclopramide is intended for use as a treatment for gastrointestinal disorders such as acid reflux, nausea, and vomiting. However, the trouble is that this drug interacts with the brain, and it can create a number of unwanted and unpleasant side effects. Some consider the ways in which this drug can inhibit your sex life.
If you have encountered any side effects from Reglan, you need to speak with your physician immediately. Even something subtle, like loss of interest in intimacy, could make this drug unacceptable to you. If more severe symptoms strike, you should get in touch with an experienced Reglan attorney. Call the law offices of Williams Kherkher at 800-761-3187 today to discuss your case.
Sexual Side Effects
People taking Reglan can usually weather the minor side effects in exchange for the gastrointestinal relief it can bring. The following symptoms, however, should be reported to a physician in case it is indicative of something more harmful:
- Diminished interest in sexual intercourse
- Inability to maintain an erection
- Decreased libido
- Performance inadequacies
- Breast tenderness
- Breast swelling
Unfortunately, decreased libido and other intimacy issues are often not the worst side effects of Reglan. Some people who take metoclopramide have developed neuromuscular disorders such as tardive dyskinesia.
