>>According to the FDA website PDF of the package insert, the
manufacturer is AH Robbins.  Interestingly, as I looked, it appears that
a major law firm is looking for litigants to sue the company because of
serious effects with long term use.

One of my clients called me a few weeks ago to tell me what has happened
to her since taking Reglan to try to relactate a year ago. She has had a
string of mysterious health problems and was in psych counseling as
well. Only after her own mother developed similar symptoms after taking
Reglan for something entirely different did my client put two and two
together and start searching on the web. She discovered quite a lot
(just try a search on reglan) that seems to parallel what she has been
going through. She cannot join the suit because it is being limited to
people with just a couple of the symptoms (not hers), but she is still
very upset about what has happened to her. Although the longer term
complications are rare, they apparently do happen and sometimes, as in
the case of my client if she is correct, they don't really set in until
AFTER discontinuation of the drug. Now that is scary.

Domperidone has not gained acceptance among my local HCPs, so only a few
of my clients have had opportunity to try it. I have not heard of one
problem to date with domperidone. Someone a lot higher than the rest of
us needs to investigate this.
