"FDA to add 'black-box' warnings to bowel-cleansing drugs" by Matthew Perrone, Associated Press | December 12, 2008
WASHINGTON - Federal health officials said yesterday that they will add the sternest safety warnings available to prescription drugs used before colonoscopies, following reports of kidney damage in several patients. The Food and Drug Administration said it has received more than 20 reports of kidney failure among patients taking the bowel-cleansing drugs, known as oral phosphate products....
As if you needed any more deterrence from getting one.
Regulators said they are also concerned about the risks of over-the-counter bowel cleansers....
Well, with all apologies to my gay friends out there, that's always been a one-way street in this town!
FDA officials said some patients are not following directions outlined on the drugs, which instruct patients to drink up to half a gallon of water with the tablets....
Yeah, it is ALWAYS the PATIENT'S FAULT -- even if it KILLS 'EM!!!
Un-frikkin'-real!!!
Combined sales of OsmoPrep and Visicol totaled more than $27 million in 2007, according to the company's earnings report.

And there they go again!
