What’s the problem?

Reglan, a medication used to treat heartburn, has been linked to long-term involuntary muscle movement among people of all ages. In 2009, the FDA ordered the producers of Reglan (containing a drug called metoclopramide) to place a black box warning, the strongest warning the FDA can require, on the label of products collectively known as Reglan.

Reglan increases muscle contractions in the upper digestive tract, resulting in the stomach emptying into the intestines at a much faster rate. Although the drug is commonly used as a short-term treatment for heartburn, it is also used to care for slow gastric emptying in people with diabetes.
