Reglan Side Effects
It is estimated that over 2 million people in the U.S have been prescribed the drug Reglan (metoclopramide) to help with acid reflux and certain gastrointestinal disorders. The drug has also been prescribed to pregnant mothers to help treat nausea and other symptoms of morning sickness. Reglan is issued in several forms, including tablets, injections, and oral solutions.
Unfortunately, some patients who have taken Reglan have experienced serious side effects as a result of taking the drug for treatment of gastrointestinal problems. Studies show that Reglan (metoclopramide) may cause drug-induced movement disorders in patients, many of whom have taken the drug for longer than three months.
The Reglan side effects lawyers of Williams Kherkher understand that side effects from prescription medication can seriously harm your physical well-being and your livelihood. It may be difficult to deal with painful side effects, and many people find themselves unable to work and support themselves and their families.
