REGLAN  (METOCLOPRAMIDE HYDROCHLORIDE):  This medication is used to treat certain conditions of the stomach and intestines. Metoclopramide is used as a short-term treatment (4 to 12 weeks) for persistent heartburn when the usual medicines do not work well enough. It is used mostly for heartburn that occurs after a meal or during the daytime. Treating persistent heartburn can decrease the damage done by stomach acid to the swallowing tube (esophagus) and help healing. Metoclopramide is also used in diabetic patients who have poor emptying of their stomachs (gastroparesis). Treating gastroparesis can decrease symptoms of nausea, vomiting, and stomach/abdominal fullness. Metoclopramide works by blocking a natural substance (dopamine). It speeds up stomach emptying and movement of the upper intestines. This drug is not recommended for use in children due to an increased risk of serious side effects (such as muscle spasms/uncontrolled muscle movements). Ask the doctor or pharmacist for details.    (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)

 1  diabetic gastric stasis The manufacturers of Reglan and its generic metoclopramide mention the link between the development of tardive dyskinesia and the drug on its labeling, however they suggest the incidence rarely occurs ... be aware that the FDA has approved Reglan for short-term use (4 to 12 weeks) only.

 1  prescribed during chemo tremors, loss of appetite, depression, fatigue, confusion, dizziness, yellowed eyes and skin, slow movements, mask-like facial appearance. My 83 year old father was prescribed Reglan two years ago when he underwent chemo/radiation for lung cancer. He has been seen regularly by his oncologist, neurologist, and internist. In February, 2006, he suffered a stroke. He recovered from the stroke symptoms, but has been going downhill fast. I was shocked to read where this drug should not be taken over 12 weeks. My poor father has been taking this drug daily for over 2 years! He has experienced all of the mentioned side effects, but none of our doctors suggested stopping it until yesterday, August 15, 2006! If he would have stayed on it, I truly believe he would have died. Please pay attention and ask questions. Doctors are not God, although some think they are. M 83

 1  nausea before surgery As soon as I received this horrible medication, I felt very warm all over and my face/body were bright red. After a few minutes it went away, but then I started shaking and my jaw was moving up and down on its own..severe leg pain also. This medication should be taking off the market. I have lupus and have been on several medications, but none with the side effects like this one..I cannot believe they give this to babies too??? unbelievable! STAY AWAY FROM THIS*** F 42 1 days

 1  increase breastmilk supply SEVERE Depression, inability to carry on with usual errands & chores, constant worry about loved ones, feelings of hopelessness, never have had any depression before & have ever had side effects from any other drug than this. DO NOT TAKE THIS DRUG !! I wish I had never taken this drug. It did not even work to increase my milk supply (I pumped all- so I know it did not work) It did, however, throw me into a SEVERE depression & it took many months after the drug was stopped to pull out of it- no history of depression & uauslly do not have drug side effects therefore I think it must be very powerful. HATE THIS DRUG & WOULD NEVER GIVE IT TO A BABY/CHILD who can't speak for how they feel!! F 35 4 weeks
