one of the most complex molecular structures i've ever seen in my life, too =) -- Lieutenant Colonel Frank Slade 09:55, 2 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

mostly prescribed with people w/ ibs strictly for abdomninal pain -- although there have been trials to help the diarrhea, they've been mostly inconclusive. there is currently a crohn's colitis test going on with higher doses which looks much more promising (~1200mg/day) -- Lieutenant Colonel Frank Slade 11:43, 2 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Generic absorption differences

Article in question is not the direct source. Direct source indicates conflict of interest between researchers and Alfa Wassermann, the company that holds the patent. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.phrs.2014.05.001 — Preceding unsigned comment added by WereJesus (talkcontribs) 01:26, 4 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It is very expensive

My doctor presribed me this for irritable bowel. Because he is a GP and not a specialist, I have to pay full price, which is like AUD $500 for a 3 week course. 2001:8003:E490:7D01:89E1:A5F5:4162:44A2 (talk) 02:23, 23 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
