One of the reasons I much prefer natural solutions to health problems whenever possible is the side effects that are often unanticipated when people take drugs.

This week the Food and Drug Administration said the drug widely known as Reglan, prescribed for heartburn, has been shown to cause spasms and tics when used for long periods of time or at high doses. The problems include uncontrollable movement of the limbs, face and tongue, and are usually irreversible, even after patients stop taking the drug, according to the FDA’s warning.

More than 2 million U.S. patients use the drugs, according to the FDA.

Always be careful when you take drugs. Just because they’re prescription drugs doesn’t mean they’re harmless.
