Filing a Reglan Class Action Lawsuit
A Reglan class action lawsuit against the makers of Reglan or other makers of Reglan or metoclopramide may be brought in federal court if the claim arises under federal law, or if all named representative members of the potential plaintiff class are from a different state than the defendant.

Nationwide plaintiff classes are possible, but such Reglan / metoclopramide class action lawsuits must have a commonality of issues across state lines. This may be difficult if the civil law in the various states have significant differences. Large class actions brought in federal court frequently are consolidated for pre-trial purposes through the device of multidistrict litigation (MDL). It is also possible to bring a Reglan class action lawsuits under state law, and in some cases the court may extend its jurisdiction to all the members of the class, including out of state (or even internationally) as the key element is the jurisdiction that the court has over the defendant.
Reglan Side Effects
As discussed taking Reglan for more than 12 consecutive weeks increases the risk for Tardive Dyskinesia (TD). Tardive Dyskinesia is characterized by involuntary, repetitive movements of the extremities or lip smacking, puckering and pursing of the lips, grimacing, tongue protrusion, rapid eye movements or blinking, or impaired movement of the fingers. Tardive Dyskinesia symptoms are rarely reversible and there is no known treatment. However, in some patients, symptoms may lessen or resolve after metoclopramide treatment is stopped. Make sure you discuss your condition with your Doctor before stopping or changing any medicines.
