Lawsuits have been filed on behalf of those injured after taking the drug Reglan. While the lawsuits contain many pages and are crafted to deal with the particulars of each particular plaintiff, the following still show the pathetic conduct of the pharmaceutical giant, if the allegations are found to be true:
- Wyeth knowingly, intentionally and negligently disseminated misleading information
to physicians’ across the country, through a publication known as the Physicians’
Desk Reference, labeling information for Reglan, metoclopramide and metoclopramide
HCl which mislead the medical community, physicians and Plaintiff’s physician
about the risks of long term ingestion of the drug. - Wyeth knowingly, intentionally and negligently disseminated misleading information
to physicians’ across the country, through a publication known as the Physicians’
Desk Reference, labeling information for Reglan, metoclopramide and metoclopramide
HCl which mislead the medical community, physicians and Plaintiff’s physician
about the increased risk of extrapyramidial side effects, including tardive
dystonia, diabetics were exposed to. - Wyeth, Schwarz and Pliva had access to and knew that severe side effects would
result from the use of Reglan/ metoclopramide in the manner in which physicians
were prescribing Reglan, metoclopramide HCl and/or metoclopramide and the fact
that physicians did not fully understand the risks associated with Reglan,
metoclopramide HCl and/or metoclopramide through the defendants participation,
individually and jointly, in or its ability to review data from clinical studies
that were not publicly available, through its review of domestic and international
medical literature concerning Reglan/ metoclopramide and through ongoing
litigation. - Wyeth failed to adequately warn physicians about the risks associated with Reglan,
metoclopramide HCl and/or metoclopramide despite the fact that Wyeth knew that
physicians, the medical community, the generic pharmaceutical industry, Plaintiff
and other similarly situated relied on Wyeth to disclose what it knew and what it
should have known from a prudent review of the information that it possessed or to
which it had access. - Defendant Wyeth knew, or should have known through the exercise of reasonable
care, that the package insert for Reglan, metoclopramide HCl and/or metoclopramide
substantially understated the prevalence of acute and long term side effects of
Reglan, metoclopramide HCl and/or metoclopramide. Wyeth failed to use reasonable
care to modify the package insert to adequately warn physicians about the true
risks of both short term use and long term use, even after several injured
patients filed lawsuits alleging inadequate warnings and produced competent expert
testimony supporting their allegations.
