Zelnorm FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)

Should I contact Novartis if I, or a family member, had a heart attack, angina, stroke, or ovarian cysts caused from taking Zelnorm?
No! You should ask your doctor to make out an adverse reaction report and file it with the FDA. You should also consider contacting a law firm specializing in personal injury and unsafe drug lawsuits. You may be eligible. Find out what your legal options are.

Are there any alternative treatments for IBS?
Yes, and safer ones too. Always consult your doctor but general measures include reducing intake of caffeine, alcohol, and fried foods. Because intolerance to lactose (milk sugar) can mimic some symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome, a test to determine if you are lactose intolerant should be done. Sorbitol, the sugar in sugarless gum or candy, should be avoided. IBS is often caused by stress and tension, so try yoga and practice relaxation and meditation techniques. For constipation-predominant IBS, increased dietary fiber and/or the use of psyllium (METAMUCIL) and increased fluid intake may be helpful.

Can I afford a Zelnorm lawsuit?
Yes! If you decide to retain Anapol Schwartz and if you determine that it's in your best interest to hire our law firm for your Zelnorm lawsuit, then we will evaluate the facts of your case. If we take on your case, it will be on a contingency fee basis. This means if you don't win your Zelnorm lawsuit, we don't get paid. Anapol Schwartz has successfully represented many clients in personal injury, unsafe drugs, and product negligence cases. Please contact us for a legal consultation so we can evaluate your situation.
