Tardive dyskinesia (TD), a potentially irreversible and disfiguring disorder characterized by involuntary movements of the face, tongue, or extremities, can develop in patients treated with Reglan (metoclopramide). One published study reported a tardive dyskinesia prevalence of 20 percent among patients treated for at least 3 months.
The prevalence of the syndrome appears to be highest among the elderly, especially elderly women.
It is impossible to predict which patients are likely to develop the syndrome.
Both the risk of developing the syndrome and the likelihood that it will become irreversible are believed to increase with the duration of treatment and the total cumulative dose of the medication.
There is no known effective treatment for established cases of tardive dyskinesia although the syndrome may remit, partially or completely, within several weeks-to-months after metoclopramide is withdrawn.
Metoclopramide itself, however, may suppress (or partially suppress) the signs of tardive dyskinesia, thereby masking the underlying disease process.
