Reglan is a powerful drug used for a variety of purposes.  The active generic name for Reglan is metoclopramide, which prescribed in both pill and liquid form.  An influx of Reglan drug defect claims have recently been filed in mulit-state litigation due to a very serious side effect causing Tardive Dyskinesia (TD).  TD is a complex and potentially permanent disorder that is directly linked to excessive Reglan use.  Symptoms of TD include abmnormal facial movements, lip smacking, facial twitching and other involuntary body movements.  Tardive Dyskinesia is an especially sad disorder that effects the victim in every aspect of their life.

What is adding fuel to the fire is that reports have surfaced indicating that Reglan manufacturers knowingly mislead doctors when pushing Reglan prescriptions.  Drug manufacturers purposely concealed studies that disclosed the direct link between Reglan use and TD.  Drug manufacturers have a duty to the public to manufacture safe products.  When the product is potentially dangerous, these companies have a duty to warn of the dangerous side effects associated with its use.  In the Reglan claim, these manufacturers just plain failed to warn of known serious, life-threatening side effects.
