FDA puts 16 drugs on watchlist

Post by starfire »

This is from Medscape. It's a free registration.
Note that Imodium is on the list. Thought that would be of interest. Also, OTC PPI's

And polyethylene glycol for neuropsychiatric events. You thought your colonoscopy prep drove you crazy, and maybe it really did. :ROFL:

I'm a little confused about the Imodium. It states that it is an HCI (or is it HC1?) product. I know that antihistamines are HC1 products. Is this the same thing? Does Imodium have HC1 properties? I wonder if this is an explanation for why Imodium was pulled off the shelves last year.
