User Reviews for Zelnorm oral

I am so disappointed that Zelnorm was taken off the market. This is the only drug (and I've tried a couple) that worked miracles. I suffered from IBS for about 15 years and this is the only drug that ever helped my health improve. It was like night and day when I was taking it. I would love to see another similar drug out on the market. Sometimes I feel like I'm six months pregant (and I'm 51).

It worked great for my IBS until... I started getting a different pain. Long story short -after 3 months of starving/tests it was my gallbladder, had surgery. I believe it was onset by Zelnorm. Small print says "do not take if you have gallbladder disease". I never had a problem before.

I've had IBS since my teens and Zelnorm has been the only med that has worked for me. Since they took it of the market, I've had nothing but problems. I've been on maximum dosage 2x daily of the replacement drug Amitiza which has severe side effect.. Nausea, Bloating, Bowel obstructions, chest pain, hedaches, extreme pain and cramping.. I've been hospitalized with obstructions several times and the only pain relief was IV Morphine. Bring Zelnorm back!!!!

I have taken this for extreme bloating after eating. Doesn't matter if I eat mashed potatoes or salad; same bloating. I looked and felt like I was nine months pregnant. It worked in 15 minutes! Now it is off the market. Anything else that is indicated for IBS has terrible side effects like anxiety, depression and suicidal thoughts. Bring back Zelnorm. Just because it didn't work for men doesn't mean it didn't work for women!

I have chronic constipation, irritable bowel syndrome, gastritis colitis and diverticulosis. I feel very ill and irritated and feel even worst when I take laxatives or eat an increased amount of fiber because my colon is so swollen that nothing can pass until I take the zelnorm. The pain and swelling completely go away and I am able to have a bowel movement. The only problem is that I cannot get any licensed physician to prescribe it to me. I only get nexium which does not help with any of my symptoms. I am currently getting the zelnorm in Mexico. Thank God! Read More Read Less

if only taken intermittenly, it works well for me..if taken daily, it does not i usually take it only when i am miserable

I suffered with IBS until I took Zelnorm. This product really worked. However, the FDA has taken it off the market and now I'm not able to purchase it. I wish there was a substitute or perhaps they will bring it back. Again, I have to say this product worked and I'm not one who takes medication. As a matter of fact, Zelnorm was the first and only product I ever took for IBS.

Zelnorm corrected my condition in a few months of use.

I wish that it was not taken off the market it really worked for me a man for IBS along with the meds for Gurd and slow stomach empty. Life has not been the same since not having the med. Now I have to take laxitives every week or so, This is on top of my daily intake of stool softners and twice daily intake of another med to hopefully keep me relgular, don't always work

Bring zelnorm back. It is a life saver

Bring Zelnorm back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tried several treatments - this is the only one that truly helped - I am now struggling to find another treatment but no luck so far
