Reglan tardive dyskinesia in lawsuit
Plaintiff Howell filed her Reglan lawsuit with a Reglan lawyer after experiencing side effects that have been linked to the medication, namely Reglan tardive dyskinesia. Tardive dyskinesia is a neurological movement disorder that affects patients, especially muscles in the face. Victims of tardive dyskinesia have uncontrollable twitching, movements, or tics in a number of muscles, which can include involuntary eye movements, face movements, mouth tics or tongue protrusions, and other side effects. There is no cure and it usually stays with a patient for life.
