Tardive Dyskinesia Lawsuit Claims
image Reglan is commonly used for heartburn. Reglan is a dopamine antagonist that increases lower esophageal sphincter pressure (the point where the esophagus connects to the stomach) and helps the stomach deliver food into the intestines to complete the digestive process. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved Reglan, manufactured by the Baxter Healthcare Corporation, for short-term treatment (between 4 and 12 weeks) only after other, less significant methods of treatment have failed. However, evidence shows that one-third of patients are prescribed Reglan for longer than 12 weeks, which is against FDA recommendations. Evidence shows that Reglan can cause tardive dyskinesia, a serious and often irreversible movement disorder.


Symptoms of Tardive Dyskinesia include
  • Involuntary movements
  • Making faces through grimacing
  • Lip movement and puckering
  • Sticking tongue out
  • Arm and leg pain and suffering

Reglan Use for Babies
 In addition to being prescribed to adults for heartburn and reflux, Reglan has also been prescribed by doctors for use in babies. While many medical practitioners assured parents of Reglans safety and lack of side effects, we now know this is not the case.

Gastrointestinal Reflux and Gastrointestinal Reflux Disease (GER and GERD) are commonly overlooked in children under 1 year of age. This is due to their feedings which often produce a spitup or repeated regurgitation. GER is usually outgrown by the baby?s first birthday, however if it does continue it could be the onset of Gastrointestinal Reflex Disease (GERD). Identifying GERD is not easy as its signs are commonly seen in babies and small children, such as:
  • Nausea
  • Regurgitation
  • Mild Heartburn
If your child is exhibiting these conditions but also the following below, contact your doctor immediately to discuss the medication being used:
  • Laryngitis
  • Prolonged coughing
  • Other respiratory problems such as asthma or wheezing

Is Your Child Showing Signs of Tardive Dyskinesia?
 Tarvdive dyskinesia is difficult to diagnose in your baby since they are learning to use their arms, legs, and make faces without reason, but be sure to watch the babies face and tongue for involuntary movements. These movements should appear different from others, and your baby will be crankier than usual. If these signs are showing, contact your pediatrician immediately to discuss the use Reglan and if an alternative may be available.
