Yes! And this is really sleazy...       08/16/05 04:25 PM Edit Reply Quote Heather Reged: 12/09/02 Posts: 7799 Loc: Seattle, WA Zelnorm cannot be advertised for men, as the FDA has not approved this use. But, doctors can prescribe drugs for "off-label" uses, which means that it's perfectly legal for a doc to prescribe Zelnorm to a man. If the drug is indirectly marketed to men, and a man with IBS gets the idea that it might be something to ask his doctor about, his doc can then prescribe the drug to him. The doctor should NOT be doing this, since it's not a safe or effective drug for men, but it is still happening. And the commercials that feature men are a backhanded way of accomplishing this. - H -------------------- Heather is the Administrator of the IBS Message Boards.
