Delaware Reglan Lawyers
While many medications can cause minor side effects, few medicines result in potentially disabling disorders. However, Reglan is one such drug that has been linked to neuromuscular diseases in patients of all ages. In fact, the Food and Drug Administration now requires Reglan to carry its Black Box label, the strongest warning possible.
Sadly, many people took Reglan before they were aware of its risks. If you believe that you now suffer from a neuromuscular disorder as a result of taking Reglan, you should not hesitate to discuss your case with a qualified attorney who can help you fight for your rights.

Neuromuscular Diseases from Reglan
Normally, Reglan works to prevent heartburn. It contains a powerful drug called metoclopramide which protects you from acid reflux by stimulating the upper gastrointestinal tract to digest your food faster.
Simultaneously, though, the metoclopramide also disrupts the delicate dopamine neurotransmitter pathway. Your nerves use this pathway to control your muscle movements. As metoclopramide destroys the pathway, you can suffer from neuromuscular disorders such as:
- Tardive dyskinesia
- Tardive dystonia
- Cervical dystonia
- Neuroleptic malignant sydrome
As your control over your muscles deteriorates, you can suffer from involuntary muscle spasms that may pull your face, neck, arms, or legs into abnormal, painful positions. Each neuromuscular disease can also come with deeper problems, such as depression or autonomic dysfunction.
