Reglan Lawsuit

Side Effects from Reglan Lawsuit

Patients and families nationwide have looked at filing a metoclopramide / Reglan lawsuit based on the serious side effects from Reglan. Currently no Reglan class action suits have been filed and claims are being made individually on behalf of people who have suffered from neurological side effects of Reglan. There currently is no cure for tardive dyskinesia.

The Reglan lawsuits claim that the various metoclopramide drug manufacturers, were negligent in several ways including but not limited to:

• Represented that Reglan / metoclopramide caused minimal side effects of knowing that the drug causes central nervous system side effects like tardive dyskinesia far more frequently than represented

• Had actual knowledge through both their own studies and independent studies, that doctors frequently prescribed Reglan / metoclopramide for long term use that was not safe for patients

• Had actual knowledge that the risk of tardive dyskinesia and other side effects of Reglan / metoclopramide in patients who received the drug for 12 weeks or longer is approximately 100 times greater than disclosed in packaging inserts for Reglan and the Physicians Desk Reference label for the Reglan brand metoclopramide.

• Failed to investigate the accuracy of its Reglan / metoclopramide label once it became aware of signals indicating a safety issue

• Failed to monitor all relevant scientific literature related to Reglan / metoclopramide

• Failed to conduct and report post market safety surveillance on Reglan / metoclopramide

• Reglan / metoclopramide was not reasonably safe as designed because the foreseeable risks involved in its use outweighed the therapeutic benefits of the drug
