Have you heard that Zelnorm is back for use in women younger than 55 who meet specific guidelines. I was wondering if anyone has tried to get it successfully or will anyone try to get it?

It was wonder drug for me but I'm over 55.

Yeah, Lil posted this information about a month or two ago although I haven't heard from any members if they have gone back on it or not... I'm curious to know also.

My doc told me it was only taken off because 11 people out of thousands had experienced cardiac problems and wanted to blame it on zelnorm but they were elderly and ALREADY had cardiac problems.
