Zelnorm is now approved by the FDA for men and women with "chronic idiopathic constipation", but still not for men with IBS with constipation.

From the FAQ pages at Zelnorm FAQ:

Quote:

Zelnorm was approved by the Food and Drug Administration on July 24, 2002 for the short-term treatment of IBS with constipation. Zelnorm is a medicine for the short-term treatment of women who have Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) with constipation as their main bowel problem. Zelnorm doesn't work for all women and has not been shown to work in men with IBS with constipation.

Zelnorm was approved on August 20, 2004 for the treatment of chronic idiopathic constipation in men and women under 65. Zelnorm is indicated for the treatment of patients (men and women) less than 65 years of age with chronic idiopathic constipation. Zelnorm has not been shown to work in men and women with chronic idiopathic constipation who are 65 years of age or older.




(Red emphasis mine.) The whole Website is pretty interesting.
