I called the company who manufactures Zelnorm, and I asked the lady why exactly Zelnorm is not for use in these instances. She acted peeved at me and her answer... "Well, it's up to the individual Dr." So I wonder who's trying to pull a fast one over on who. Millie.
P.S. Has anyone else called the Zelnorm manufacturer with this same question?
