Mother says FDA’s Reglan warning is long overdue
The FDA’s “black box warning” on the acid reflux drug Reglan is long overdue, according to Jennifer Rackley. Both her daughters as infants were on the medication. Her first had severe GERD and was categorized by doctors as “failure to thrive.” Her pediatrician prescribed Reglan, a brand name of metaclopramide. “At the time we were not aware of the side effects nor did we have any major qualms about using the medication,” Jennifer said. “Boy was that about to change!”
