What's the difference between Reglan and Metoclopramide?
Reglan is the brand-name drug, and Metoclopramide is the generic drug. Just like every other generic drug, there should be no difference between the generic and the brand-name drug.
Who makes Metoclopramide?
There are many manufacturers of Reglan and Metoclopramide, including Wyeth, Schwarz Pharma, Teva, Barr Laboratories, and Pliva. A Reglan lawyer will help you identify which brand you took.
How do I know if I have a Reglan or Metoclopramide lawsuit?
- The Reglan lawyers I know tell me that a good case is one in which:
- Someone had their own prescription for Reglan or Metoclopramide.
- That person took the drug for at least three months.
- After using the drug for three months, the person developed any type of facial tic, lip smacking, or other uncontrolled movement of the face or arms/hands.
If I do have a Reglan case, how much money is it worth?
That's a question you should ask when an attorney contacts you through this site. Verdicts have ranged in size from very small to in the many millions of dollars, depending on the facts in the specific case.
How much will it cost me to file a Reglan lawsuit?
Absolutely nothing. My lawyer friends will only get out of money that they recover for you. You will never be asked to pay any costs of your case, or asked to pay any attorney fee if they do not recover money for you. And since they only get paid out of any money they recover for you, you know they'll work very hard to maximize the amount of money recovered.
How long do I have to decide what to do?
That's another question a licensed attorney will have to answer. Every state has what's called a statute of limitations. If you don't file your lawsuit before the statute of limitations runs out, you'll never be able to file it.
Will my Reglan lawyer live in my city?
Your Reglan lawyer may not live in the same city as you do. In fact, he or she might not live in the same state as you. But that shouldn't cause you to worry because any time your lawyer needs to meet with you, he or she will come to you. Or, if you prefer, he or she can make the arrangements for you to come to him or her. Your Reglan lawyer will cover all travel expenses out of his or her own pocket and will only be repaid if he or she recovers money for you.
In some cases, your Reglan lawyer will hire a second lawyer that does live in the same area as you. This lawyer is called "local counsel." Your local counsel will work closely with your primary Reglan lawyer, and he or she will also only be paid out of any money recovered for you.
Where will my Reglan lawsuit be filed?
One of the most important decisions a Reglan lawyer will make about your case is where to file your Reglan lawsuit. Because the laws vary from state to state, where your lawsuit is filed might determine whether you win or lose your case. Your Reglan lawyer will therefore investigate the best place to file your lawsuit. There are several states where your lawsuit might be filed:
- The state where you live.
- The state where you were prescribed Reglan.
- The state where the Reglan manufacturer is headquartered.
- The state where the Reglan manufacturer is incorporated.
In some circumstances, your Reglan lawsuit might even be filed in a state not listed here.
You don't need to worry about any travel expenses or other problems that might come from filing your Reglan lawsuit outside of your home state. Your Reglan lawyer will pay for all of your expenses out of his or her own pocket, and will only be repaid if he or she collects money for you. And if your case settles out of court, it's entirely possible you'll never have to travel to another state.
