Los Angeles Lotronex Side Effects Attorneys
Lotronex was prescribed for irritable
bowel syndrome (IBS), a condition that affects up to 15 percent
of Americans, mostly women. In IBS, also known as "spastic
colon," the bowel is hypersensitive, and symptoms include chronic
or recurrent abdominal pain, the sudden and urgent need to go to
the bathroom, and either frequent diarrhea, constipation, or both.
Within a year of its release, there were 93 reports of patients
being hospitalized after taking Lotronex, and 49 reports of patients
developing ischemic colitis, a potentially lethal complication stemming
from inadequate blood flow to the colon. On November 28, 2000, the
FDA announced that it had asked the manufacturer to withdraw Lotronex
from the market. The FDA is advising patients taking Lotronex to
contact their health care providers to discuss treatment alternatives
for Irritable Bowel Syndrome.
