Reglan Generics & Tardive Dyskinesia

Persons who have suffered from acid reflux or a condition known as gastroparesis (a partial paralysis of the stomach), which prevents food from moving through the digestive tract, may have been treated with a drug called metoclopramide. This drug has been available in generic form since 1982 and is sold in the United States under the brand names Maxolon, Reglan and a number of other brand names.

This drug has also been used to treat heartburn as well as nausea and vomiting (including persons associated with cancer treatments). Additionally, some women have been administered the drug to stimulate lactation or to treat migraine headaches. Regardless of the medical reason why some people have been prescribed Reglan or any generic version of metoclopramide, those who are currently taking or have stopped taking the drug may be at risk of developing tardive dyskinesia.
