Defective Drug and Drug Recall

Louisiana Attorneys Helping with Drug Recalls

On February 26, 2009, the FDA mandated that Schwarz Pharma, producer of the drug Reglan (also known by its generic name Metoclopramide), include "black box" warning labels. The warning stated that people who used Reglan, which is prescribed to treat acid reflux disease, carried an increased risk of developing Tardive Dyskinesia.

If you or someone you love has taken Reglan and has now been diagnosed with Tardive Dyskinesia, contact the Charbonnet Law Firm to arrange a free initial consultation. Our lawyers have extensive experience helping victims of defective drugs and drug recalls.

Have you been injured by a drug side effect?

As the victim of a recalled drug or side effect of a drug, you may be entitled to compensation. While many of Reglan's side effects subside with time, some can be incurable or fatal, leading to wrongful death. Our attorneys are dedicated to helping people who have been affected by Reglan side effects that include the following:

• Agranulocytosis which can lead to osteoporosis
• Aldosteronism which can lead to heart attack, stroke, kidney failure or heart failure
• Depression
• Seizures
• Jaundice
• Tachycardia
• Tardive Dyskinesia which is marked by repetitive movements of the face, limbs and body

Drug recalls and defective drug claims are handled under product liability law. Our firm has substantial understanding of product liability law and the methods to most effectively protect our clients' rights.
