California Reglan Lawyers
When we take medicine, we must trust that it will help us, rather than harm us. However, some medications cause such severe side effects that they can leave you with permanent disabilities. Reglan, a drug commonly used to treat chronic acid reflux, is one such medication. Indeed, as of February 2009, the FDA has ordered the manufacturer of Reglan to place a Black Label Warning on the drug – the strongest possible response short of pulling Reglan off the market.
Reglan causes severe neuromuscular disorders that can disable you for the rest of your life, leaving you unable to care for yourself and your loved ones. If you have taken Reglan and developed such a disorder, you deserve the financial compensation that can help you deal with your disability.

Neuromuscular Disorders Caused by Reglan
Reglan contains a powerful ingredient called metoclopramide, which stimulates muscle contractions in your upper digestive tract. While this can help prevent heartburn, metoclopramide can also interfere with the delicate connections between your muscles and nerves. This disruption can cause permanent neuromuscular disorders, such as:
- Tardive dyskinesia
- Tardive dystonia
- Neuroleptic malignant syndrome
- Cervical dystonia
These debilitating conditions typically cause uncontrollable muscle spasms, although exact location of the involuntary movements can vary based on your exact disorder. Additionally, these spasms can cause severe pain as they forcefully twist your muscles into awkward, uncomfortable positions.
