Reglan is a drug administered to patients who suffered from heartburn. However, some of those who took Reglan are now suffering from some tragic side effects.
Tardive Dyskinesia, or Dystonia Tardive, has been diagnosed in patients who took Reglan. This disease results in patients involuntarily moving muscles in an uncontrollable manner. Some of the side effects include:
- Lip Smacking
- Protruding Tongue
- Constant Eye Blinking and Bulging
- Jerking the Head
- Facial Grimacing
- Puckering and Pursing of the Lips
- Involuntarily Moving Fingers
Tardive Dyskinesia can also cause extreme pain in the hands and could possibly cause damage to the internal organs. In 2009, the Food and Drug Administration issued a black box warning, it’s most stringent, for Reglan.
The worst thing about Tardive Dyskinesia is that it can result in a person being isolated from the rest of society. These patients are subjected to humiliation and embarrassment due to involuntary movements and it is impossible for them to lead a normal life. Even those who discontinue Reglan can still suffer from the effects of Dyskinesia Tardive. About 250,000 to 400,000 people in the United States are believed to be suffering from Tardive Dyskinesia.
Compensation is Possible with a Reglan Lawyer
The damage caused by Tardive Dyskinesia because of taking Reglan can hardly be measured in dollars and cents. However, there are those who are hiring lawyers and filing for Reglan lawsuits. A good lawyer can take on pharmaceutical companies that knew of Reglan’s horrible side effects and obtain compensation for those who suffer from the disease. They can file a Reglan law suit for those suffering from Tardive Dyskinesia and fight the manufacturers in litigation. Having an experienced lawyer by your side when fighting pharmaceutical companies can give you a huge advantage. These companies are not known for their sympathy towards victims of Tardive Dyskinesia, so a lawyer needs to step in and use their experience and knowledge to convince a judge or a jury that you were unjustly given a drug that was supposed to help and instead ended up hurting.
