In early 2009, the FDA placed a black box warning on Reglan and other metoclopramide drugs, which are used to treat gastrointestinal disorders. The Reglan black box warning advised users about the possible risk of tardive dyskinesia in those taking the drug in high doses or over a long period of time. According to the FDA, the development of this Reglan side effect is directly related to the length of time the patient is taking the drug, and the number of doses taken. Patients at greatest risk for Reglan tardive dyskinesia include the elderly, particularly older women, and patients who were taking the drug for a long time. 

Tardive dyskinesia is a neurological syndrome which causes repetitive, involuntary and purposeless movements. Symptoms of Reglan tardive dyskinesia may include the following: rapid movements of the arms and legs; involuntary finger movements; rapid eye blinking; grimacing; tongue protrusion; lip smacking; and puckering and pursing. No standard treatment exists for tardive dyskinesia, though in some patients, symptoms may decrease or resolve after metoclopramide is no longer taken.  

If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with tardive dyskinesia while taking Reglan or the generic metoclopramide, you may be able to participate in a Reglan lawsuit to recover compensation for damages resulting from your Reglan side effects.
