Zelnorm used for other GI motility problems
July 2003
Most people think Zelnorm is just for irritable bowel syndrome, but you'll see Zelnorm used for other GI motility problems...chronic constipation, gastroparesis, GERD.

This is different than Lotronex, which is a 5-HT3 serotonin antagonist that SLOWS bowel motility.
