I was very upset when the FDA with drawled lotronex from the market. I
understand that there was some problems with the medicine, and many
complaints from people who do not even have IBS. Well i have IBS and for
7 years I have felt trapped in my own home I was afraid to leave for I
never know when I would have to go to the bathroom. I started taking
lotronex and I was able to enjoy life again. I had no problems with the
medicine and was made aware of what to do if I did have problems to stop
taking the medicine.
I truly believe that this medicine is needed and that you should make it
available for those who can benefit from it.

Thank you for your time,
