Reglan: New FDA Blackbox Warnings. Have a question?
You may have heard that the Food and Drug Admin (FDA) placed new warnings on Reglan, a motility medication that is sometimes used to treat infants and children with GERD. Is your infant or child currently on Reglan? Need more info? Post your question or concern here and I will try to address your concerns.

The Reflux Mom
My daughter is currently taking metoclopramide and has been taking it since Feb 4, 2009. She was dx with acid reflux with she was 4 weeks old. She has had an upper GI and everything (anatomically was fine) as well as an ultrasound to rule out pyloric stenosis. The dosage has recently increased from .5 to .7 mls every 8 hours. She is also on Zantac .7 mls every 8 hours. My question is: Is this dosage to high for a 3 month old? What should I be looking for in regards to side effects. I have noticed the tongue thrusting, but don't know if it is because of the medication or if it a baby thing. I would like to ween her off this medication, but don't know if that is a good idea. Any info you can provide will be greatly appreciated.
Thank-you,
Concerned Mommy
