The N.Y.Times had an article that I recently read indicating that the FDA is considering restrictions on Immodium. The reason is that addicts may use this drug when their preferred illegal opiate drug (heroin, etc.) is not available. This is a HORRIBLE idea for patients that depend on Immodium to control their bowel problems.
Immodium users should consider writing/calling their congressional representatives to protest this move. We will be paying higher prices and have more difficulties getting this drug in the future.
