Just met with a GI today who saw your booth at the ACG in Las Vegas. He asked, "The Amitiza booth didn't have much information about why women had to take a pregnancy test before starting on Amitiza. He also didn't understand why it was his job to make sure she was still on contraceptives." He was surprised to learn that Amitiza caused abortions in guinea pigs and that was the reason for this safety precaution. He was even more surprised when he found out that Amitiza is a prostaglandin. Just imagine if a patient's unborn child was aborted due to this prostaglandin drug and the patient never knew it! Would you want to take that chance?" He responded that he couldn't believe the FDA would approve a drug that dangerous. Good luck selling the rat poison!
