Reglan and its generic Metoclopramide have been linked to a horrible debilitating condition known as Tardive Dyskinesia. The FDA warned of this condition on the product label, however, the chances of developing Tardive Dyskinesia from Reglan go up substantially the longer the drug is used. The drug is only approved for use for 4-12 weeks, but 1/3 actually take the drug for a year or longer, raising the risks fo developing Tardive Dyskinesia to extremely high levels.
