I have a 4 month old daughter who has been on Reglan for 2 almost 2 1/2 months. I didn't even know about this warning until I saw something on TV yesterday. The pharmacist and neither of her doctors told us about this warning. I am unable to know if she has any long term effects from this medication because she is so young and all the symptoms are typical for a small infant. I don't know what to do about the lack of communication on the others part. If anyone has any advice for what I should do please let me know!

My husband has been taking metoclopradide for gastroparesis for a couple of years know.
The medication has really given him more quality of
life, but we are now worried about the side effect of tardive dyskinesia. Teva makes this genric product and of all the companies theirs is the most effective for him.
Does anyone know of a different medication that would do the same thing but not have the possible side effects of tardive syskinesia?
