Texas Reglan Lawyers
While many medications can heal you with a low risk of side effects, others can leave permanent, debilitating neuromuscular conditions as their aftermath. One such dangerous drug is Reglan, commonly prescribed to treat chronic acid reflux. In fact, because the risks associated with Reglan are so great, the producers of this drug must now place a black label warning on it – the FDA’s strongest possible warning.
When you use Reglan, it may help you with your heartburn, but it can also cause much more severe health issues that can disable you for the rest of your life. If you have developed a neuromuscular disorder as a result of taking Reglan, you deserve an experienced attorney’s help in fighting back.

Neuromuscular Disorders Associated with Reglan
Reglan contains a powerful ingredient called metoclopramide, which operates by increasing the muscle contractions necessary to pass food through the upper digestive tract. At the same time, though, it interferes with your nerves’ control over your muscles. Metoclopramide can permanently damage this connection, resulting in neuromuscular disorders such as:
- Tardive dyskinesia
- Tardive dystonia
- Neuroleptic malignant syndrome
- Cervical dystonia
These disorders are classified by involuntary muscle spasms that can pull your body into awkward, uncomfortable positions that can cause you intense pain. The extent of your uncontrollable movements depends on exactly which neuromuscular condition you develop, but they can affect your neck and head as well as your arms and legs.

The manufacturers of Reglan put your health at risk when they produced the medication without a Black Label Warning informing you of the neuromuscular conditions associated with metoclopramide.
