Propulsid, a drug which helped me a lot against GERD (gastric
esophagus (?) reflux disease), has been banned by the FDA allegedly
because it causes heart problems, but is available abroad. Does
anybody know how I could get hold of this drug, preferably without a
prescription, since doctors are too chicken to prescribe a banned drug
even though the "heart problems" start only at dosages of 2 mg/kg
bodyweight which is 8 times as much as the 20mg I am taking, and I
have experienced no problems with it. The generic name is Cisaprid.
Answer  
There is no answer at this time.

First of all, the FDA did not ban it, they just put a strong warning
on it - the manufacturer then decided to stop marketing it in the US. 
Secondly, the doctors aren't all too chicken to prescribe it - it just
isn't available in the US anymore - it doesn't matter whether we want
to prescribe it or not.
