Patients who use the drug Reglan may be at risk to movement disorders and a condition known as tardive dyskinesia. Recently published analyses suggest that Reglan, also known as metoclopramide, is the most common cause of drug-induced movement disorders. The FDA also reports continued spontaneous cases of tardive dyskinesia in patients who used metoclopramide, the majority of whom had taken the drug for more than three months. Over two million Americans use these products for the treatment of a number of gastrointestinal disorders and more cases of movement disorders and tardive dyskinesia are expected to be reported.
