Does anyone know who I can contact to try to find out when this drug is going to be approved?

Hi Pete:I don't know who you should contact, but Novartis has a website at http://www.novartis.com . Maybe there's a number there that you can call.If you go to this BB's home page there is an article about Zelmac, and what stage it is at. I hope this helps.

I'm going to see my GI doc next week and I plan to ask if she knows. I'll let you know what she says.

Pete: From everything I've read, it should be about October of 2000.I hope it is soon for all those who it may help with "C".Jean had a good idea about asking the manufacturer Novartis.I'm sure it can't be too soon for them(haha).I pray it is a huge success!!especially for those who take it.Regards,Barbara------------------BJV/Female__(D)

You can contact Novartis at 1-800-NOW-NOVA (that might be 888-NOW-NOVA; not sure), but they do not really know anything. It is all up to the FDA, and only until they decide to approve it will it be availbale. I do hope it is soon.
