Please sign petition--Pico-Salax approval-USA

Postby smoothielover » Tue Jun 07, 2011 6:33 am

If you do a search here and on other colorectal support forums, you will find many discussions about Pico-Salax and its lack of approval for sale in the USA. [example] If you want to know the background, check out the blurb I wrote on this petition.

I've tried, unsuccessfully, to find out the status. Has the manufacturer applied for approval? Who knows, but I for one am sick of waiting. The only choice is preps that, quite frankly, are inhumane--or get some Pico-Salax from across the border....which means what? I have to smuggle some over-the-counter medication from Canada and then lie to my dr. about what I took? Insane.

I have written to the manufacturer and didn't get a response. Now I'm going to stir things up a bit. I've started an online petition. Maybe if I get 1000s of signatures, together we can press for action. (If you're about to be a naysayer, let me tell ya, I've been successful with this tool for other issues. But I need lots of signatures.)

The petition is set to expire at the end of Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month (March 2012). In April I will deliver the signatures to the FDA and the manufacturer.

Yes, you can hide your name so no one else sees you signed it.

**Important--Please insert your own comments when signing. It can be really short, but it sounds a lot more genuine and has a lot more impact when it's your own words!**
