What were the two drugs they marketed in the early 2000's? I think they were Lomotil and Zelnorm, and at least one was taken off the market. They definitely need more research into better drugs.

Zelnorm was taken off the market because it thickened the blood and caused serious cardiac issues in a couple people.

As far as I know, it's still available with a special waiver but only for women for which no other drugs work.

Aside from the, you know, killing people, it was an amazing drug.
