Lotronex
Lotronex is a prescription medicine used to treat women with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) who have diarrhea as their main symptom (diarrhea-predominant IBS).
On November 28, 2000, GlaxoSmithKline, the manufacturer of Lotronex (alosetron) tablets withdrew Lotronex from the market.
This action was taken because the drug had been associated with reports of serious side effects such as intestinal damage as a result of reduced blood flow to the intestine (ischemic colitis), severely obstructed or ruptured bowels (complications of severe constipation), and death.
As of November 10, 2000, the FDA had reviewed a total of 70 cases of serious adverse events, including 49 cases of ischemic colitis and 21 cases of severe constipation. Of these 70 cases, 34 resulted in hospitalizations without surgery, 10 resulted in surgical procedures (some of which involved the removal of parts of patients' intestines), and three resulted in death.
