FDA Requires Zelnorm Pulled from Market: Zelnorm Lawsuits

The FDA has taken swift and strong action by requesting that Zelnorm be pulled from the market. Simply put, the risks outweigh the benefits. The drug has been deemed too dangerous according to the FDA.

One question is why it took so long for this action to be taken and why Novartis did not discover these problems earlier. Surely there will be Zelnorm lawsuits investigating what Novartis knew about Zelnorm side effects and when they knew it.

The FDA announcement regarding the GI drug Zelnorm describes the safety reasons for stopping the marketing and sale of this drug. A recall from marketing of a drug like this is a sign that Zelnorm has dangers that were not previously being told to doctors who were prescribing the drug.
