"FDA Requires Boxed Warning and Risk Mitigation Strategy for Metoclopramide-
Containing Drugs

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration announced today that manufacturers 
of metoclopramide, a drug used to treat gastrointestinal disorders, must add a 
boxed warning to their drug labels about the risk of its long-term or high-dose 
use. Chronic use of metoclopramide has been linked to tardive dyskinesia, 
which may include involuntary and repetitive movements of the body, even 
after the drugs are no longer taken."
