Breastfeeding Mothers who are experiencing difficulty with low milk supply have sometimes been prescribed Reglan to boost milk production without being told about long term side effects of the drug.
One side effect is the chance of developing Tardive Dyskinesia (TD). Reglan causes damage to the bodily systems which produce dopamine. The symptoms of TD are irreversible, uncurable and similar to Parkinson's disease. The disease continues after the use of Reglan is discontinued.
