Tardive Dyskinesia
2
Reglan use has been linked to many serious health issues including tardive dyskinesia.
3
Reglan affects the dopamine receptors, which after extended use, can cause the patient to suffer from unstoppable twitches and spasms.
4
How Reglan Causes Tardive Dyskinesia One way that your nerves control your muscle movements is through the transmission of dopamine. When these dopamine receptors are blocked or altered by medication, it can interfere with the nerves’ control over muscle movements.
5
How Reglan Causes Tardive Dyskinesia The main component in Reglan, metoclopramide, is a dopamine receptor antagonist. This means that it blocks the transmission of this signaling from the nerves to the muscles. If you use Reglan for an extended period of time, it can permanently damage your dopamine receptors.
