Mrs. D.:
Thank you for this information. I am one of those women whose whole life has been micromanaged by IBS. I was literally loosing what life I had until Zelnorm. And, it's not that I have a life now. However, w/Zelnorm I was/am on the road to living a normal life... In your piece you said, "There may be patients for whom no other treatment options are available and in whom the benefits of Zelnorm treatment outweigh the chance of serious side effects. FDA will work with Novartis to allow access to Zelnorm for those patients through a special program." How do I do this? I am fearful that I may even loose my ability to earn a living without this product. And, really, what life do I have if I can't work, go outside my home, develop & participate in life and relationships because of major symptoms of IBS? My IBS is crippling. I am still on FMLA from its debilitating effects— Thanks for any support, information or suggestions, mmmstly |

Here is a very interesting site. It details FDA medwatch reports.
http://www.patientsville.com/sitemap.htm Keep in mind that some people's reactions may be due to other disease processes going on with them. Also the opposite factor should be considered, that many drug reactions go UNREPORTED. So don't panic, but do be concerned and careful. |

Liver enzymes and drug interactions...
Each year more and more is learned about drugs interfering with each other, by either inducing metabolism or inhibiting it.
The subject of pomegranate juice just came up on Bipolar board, so I thought I'd put up some charts that I found that people can consult. Doctors don't always know this information, or understand it. http://www.healthanddna.com/drugchart.html This link explains the effects of various juices at this time: http://www.netwellness.org/question.cfm/44966.htm and this link has just info about grapefruit: http://www.fhma.com/grapefruit.htm Lists are subject to change, as data changes. So keep that in mind. |
Drug induced Nutrient Depletions....
I have started a thread on our Vitamin forum here for questions people may have on this subject.
Resources are posted there, so I won't repeat them here. Some side effects from long term use of common medications affect our body's ability to use certain nutrients. Vit D, calcium, zinc, magnesium, potassium B-complex are just some that are robbed from our bodies. I have 2 textbook links and one web link posted here: http://neurotalk.psychcentral.com/thread42135.html |
