An Introduction to Reglan Side Effects
As with any medicine, side effects are possible with
Reglan® (
metoclopramide). However, not everyone who takes the medication will have problems. In fact, most people tolerate it quite well. If side effects do occur, in most cases, they are minor and either require no treatment or can easily be treated by you or your healthcare provider.
(This article covers many, but not all, of the possible side effects with Reglan. Your healthcare provider can discuss a more complete list of Reglan side effects with you.)
Possible Side Effects of Reglan
