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)

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)

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 (talk • contribs) 01:26, 4 April 2022 (UTC)

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)
