Re: Zelnorm,Lotronex and Gender       04/28/03 03:08 PM Edit Reply Quote Heather Reged: 12/09/02 Posts: 7799 Loc: Seattle, WA Many current IBS pharmaceutical research studies are only being conducted on women. So if the drugs are then approved by the FDA, it's only for women. Doctors can still prescribe them off-label for men. Basically, this is a financial decision by the drug companies. The majority of US IBS sufferers are women, so that's where the money lies. They can make enough of a profit from a new drug that's prescribed only for women, so the men are, frankly, getting the shaft here. - Heather -------------------- Heather is the Administrator of the IBS Message Boards.
