A Robert Goldwater Reglan lawyer can press your Reglan lawsuit

Millions of Americans who use pharmaceutical drugs face a risk  of suffering serious side effects as a result. This is the case with  the defective drug metoclopramide, which is also known by brand name Reglan. This drug can produce lifelong harm and suffering in patients via a condition called Tardive Dyskinesia or TD, which  involves involuntary muscle twitching.

Innocent patients who are told by their physician to take Reglan  often get this prescription because they have GERD, or gastroesophageal reflux disease. Or they may have other stomach  ailments. These patients may be of any age, but those who are who endangered by possible Tardive Dyskinesia are very young or elderly patients, especially women who are elderly.

Even though prescribed for digestion, Reglan can spark a neurological disorder

Essentially, Tardive Dyskinesia is a neurological disorder leading to involuntary movements of the muscles. In effect, treatment of a patient's digestive disorder via a defective drug sold under such brand names as Reglan, Maxolon or Octamide can lead to an extreme and utterly unwanted neurological disorder. Such patients or victims of Reglan side effects are entitled to financial compensation for their medical bills, lost present or future wages, and pain and suffering. That is their legal right.

This economic recovery only can come via Reglan lawsuits. That's why the Bob Goldwater Law Firm of Attorney Robert Goldwater stands ready to help patients, victims and sufferers of a Reglan injury by responding to their Reglan claim in the legal arena. Such patients did not choose to suffer, but rather are innocent victims of a defective drug manufacturer's negligence.

Any person can be harmed by side effects from Reglan

While patients using Reglan long term are more at risk of suffering Tardive Dyskinesia or other Reglan side effects, including Tardive Dystonia, even patients who use Reglan on a short-term basis and in small doses may be at risk of this condition. Also, regardless of how much Reglan a patient takes, a hidden danger of potential adverse Reglan side effects is that they may not crop up until the drug is discontinued. Then, it may be too late.

That's why it's important that patients do not take Reglan long term if at all possible. The longer they take the drug, the greater their chance may be of suffering from a medical malady with no known cure or treatment.

If you or a loved one has taken any drug featuring Reglan or metoclopramide, consult with your physician immediately. And if any adverse side effects of Reglan use arise, such as Tardive Dyskinesia symptoms or Tardive Dystonia symptoms, alert a Reglan lawyer with the Bob Goldwater Law Firm. Attorney Bob  Goldwater can fight for your rights to just and fair compensation for your Reglan defective drugs injury.
