Doctors often prescribe an injection of metoclopramide for diabetes patience suffering pain and intestinal tract problems when their stomach slowly empties. Patients suffering severe migrane headaches may also be prescribed a metoclopramide injection for temporary relief.
Reglan is one of the prominent prescription diabetes medications on the market but it is also one of the most dangerous. Side-effects of Reglan and other products containing metoclopramide are known to cause serious and life-threatening medical problems. While most prescription medications result in some side-effects, Reglan has been linked to many severe injuries, including:
- Severe depression, including thoughts of suicide
- Respiratory problems
- Vision, hearing and speech problems
- Seizures
- Irregular heartbeat
- Tardive Dyskinesia, facial paralysis

There have been several successful lawsuits against the makers of Reglan and other giant pharmaceutical companies that manufacture metoclopramide and many other types of pain control products. Physicians also have a responsibility to know the patient's tolerance level for dangerous medications and may also be held liable for damages in the event of a serious injury or health problem caused by side-effects.
