Some general considerations include the following:
- Reglan comes in tablet, oral solution (liquid), and injectable form. The tablets are usually taken four times a day (30 minutes before meals and at bedtime). In some situations, less frequent dosing may be appropriate.
- Reglan is not approved to be used longer than 12 weeks at a time.
- For the medication to work properly, it must be taken as prescribed.
The dose of Reglan that your healthcare provider recommends will vary depending on a number of factors, including:
- The medical condition being treated
- Other medical conditions you may have
- Other medications you may currently be taking.
As is always the case, do not adjust your dose unless your healthcare provider specifically instructs you to do so.
(Click Reglan Dosage for more information.)
As with any medicine, side effects are possible. However, not everyone who takes the drug will experience side effects. In fact, most people tolerate it quite well. Serious side effects are less common.
Some of the possible side effects include, but are not limited to:
- Restlessness
- Drowsiness
- Fatigue
- Impotence (also known as erectile dysfunction, or ED)
- Breast leakage.
