Side Effects of Reglan or Metoclopramide
- Tardive dyskinesia is a central nervous system disorder that causes involuntary, repetitive movements of the extremities, head and facial muscles.
- Cervical dystonia is characterized by debilitating muscle spasms in the neck.
- Parkinsonism can include muscle stiffness, cogwheel rigidity, tremors and slowed movements.
- Neuroleptic malignant syndrome (NMS) is a potentially life-threatening and the most serious Reglan side effect. Symptoms include high fever, muscle rigidity, instability in the autonomic nervous system and agitation or delirium.
- Ocular deviation means irregular eye movements, such as persistent blinking or spasms.
- Akathisia (motor restlessness) is a persistent sensation of restlessness and inability to sit still, resulting in the need to be in constant motion.
Those most at risk for developing tardive dyskinesia after long-term use of Reglan and metoclopramide include infants, young children and the elderly. In particular, elderly women are highly susceptible to developing tardive dyskinesia.
At this time, tardive dyskinesia remains incurable and symptoms often persist even after use of Reglan or metoclopramide has been discontinued. Reglan and metoclopramide are available in a variety of formulations including tablets, syrups and injections. Names of metoclopramide-containing products include Reglan Tablets, Reglan Oral Disintegrating Tablets, Metoclopramide Oral Solution and Reglan Injection. More than two million Americans use these products.
