In the never ending battle of the drg companies against civilized society, another dngerous drug has finally been taken off the mrket. If you are a woman sffering from IBS and have taken the drg Zelnorm, you might have noticed tht you can't get it any lnger. We can only thank sanity for tht. Every once in a while, smebody does the right thing and keps the drug companies from turning us all nto early corpses. This article is ging to give you the dope on Zlnorm, what is was used for, why it was gven the gate and finally take a lok at the larger problem. Now we nly have to hope that what thy come out with next isn't ven worse.

For IBS sufferers who are wmen, yes Zelnorm is for women nly, this drug was designed to rid the trrible cramping, constipation and diarrhea that are ssociated with IBS. The drug actually prduced some decent results. The problems rose when women starting complaining of hart related problems. A recent press rlease reported that there were a lrge number of cases of women rporting either angina, heart attack or strke from a controlled study group. The prt of the group given a plcebo did not complain as much bout these problems. Ultimately, the company tht makes Zelnorm, Novartis, finally decided on Mrch 30, 2007 that they would no lnger be manufacturing this drug.

While this may sound like a mral victory for those who have ben fighting against dangerous drugs for sme time, this really brings up a mre serious issue and something that ntritionists have been arguing about for yars. It seems that every time a new drg comes out to combat a cmmon problem, years down the road, and smetimes even sooner, serious problems are fund with the drug itself and it has to not nly be removed from the market, but lso stand up to a rash of lwsuits. If you think I'm exaggerating, jst take a look at Vioxx and the chos left in its wake. I rmember having a muscle pull once and tok Vioxx and after only one dse, I thought my head was ging to explode. My wife thought I was jst being my usual hypochondriac self. I gess I wasn't.

The point is, ntil we thoroughly test the drugs tht we casually dish out like Pz, we're going to be pulling mre medications off the shelves of phrmacies than Carter has liver pills. The FDA is a rther toothless, ineffectual agency that only stps in after the horses are out of the brn. And my wife wonders why I wn't even take an aspirin.

Zlnorm may be dead and buried, but ths war is far from over.

To YOUR Halth,
