According to a Louisiana mother, the drug Reglan was responsible for birth defects in her child.

The mother has filed a suit against the manufacturer of the drug, Pliva, Inc. She complained of nausea and vomiting to her doctor, who prescribed Reglan during her seventh week of pregnancy. She took the medicine for roughly four weeks. Around week 32, she complained to her doctor, which was followed by the birth of her son in week 36. The premature birth led to numerous complications that baffled medical staff.

The suit complaint includes charges of multiple emotional complications, permanent disabilities, medical expenses, lost wages, and other financial deficiencies.

The woman claimed that she was unaware of problems with the medication until she saw an advertisement including the side-effects on the television. The medication is not supposed to be prescribed for pregnant mothers, and has been given the Food & Drug Administration’s strongest warning label due to multiple reports of adverse effects.

If you too have been affected by Reglan, you may be entitled to compensation for your suffering. Contact the Reglan side effect attorneys of Williams Kherkher by calling 800-761-3187 today to discuss your claim and possible options.
