Guest guest Posted December 6, 2011 Report Share Posted December 6, 2011 From what they've told us, there wasn't any? It took 10 years for them to even hold the meeting.............I studied EVER symptom on the FDA adverse reactions with 2 Physician's to better understand what this medication did to our children. This is who brought to my attention the side effect called ileus that puts the bowel to sleep, therefore, these poor children couldn't go without the Miralax if they wanted to...................sad, but trueFrom: "CAChitter@..."

I've been studying this medication since 2001 and submitted every 6 months to begin my own study and the numbers went from 6 to 1,966 in 10 years. The cost is $55.00 and now went up to $65.00. The FDA also held a drug oversight board meeting on the side effects of PEG in pediatrics..........see enclosed 6 files + 1 drug oversight board meeting link.

Guest guest Posted December 6, 2011 Report Share Posted December 6, 2011 Carol this info about renal disnatremia makes me seeth with anger!! I am Canadian so I do not report to the FDA the same way you do but I just fired off a complaint to our equivalent. I lost a kidney to cancer 3 years ago and my remaining one struggles to do the work required. I could have killed it because I have other health issues!!! I am so greatful to everyone here who has worked so hard for research on this product, I submitted several items to my sister who has had her boys on it for 2 years and she has questioned her doctor who of course says there is nothing wrong with it but at least it has her thinking. Her doctor had the nerve to suggest I had mental problems when she said where she got the info from. I am to the point of being anti doctor because I have continual health issues and they do not know what is wrong so they are letting me live with it. ARGGGHHHH!!!! Rae From: CAChitter@...

Wonder why there is no test for renal issues before prescibing peg - I think my health survey asked if I had issues, but people may not know whether they do or not. I happened to have what I described as kidney pain and my dr still recommended it. Carol thank you for sharing that!

Would it help at all if we filed a complaint with the FDA? I am so passionate about Miralax now after hearing what so many children are going through. I'm sure most of you have already filed complaints, but thought maybe it would help to compile all the adverse events into one letter and send it from our group if it would help move the FDA forward in any way.

Guest guest Posted December 6, 2011 Report Share Posted December 6, 2011 How do you suggest I gather everyone's issues? Do your letters address them all or just the one's you've experienced? I could go back through all the messages, but it would take too much time. If you have them already listed, that would be great.
