The FDA withdrew tegaserod maleate from the market after reporting that in clinical studies 0.1% (n = 13) of patients treated with tegaserod experienced serious and life-threatening cardiovascular adverse events, compared with 0.01% (n = 1) of patients on placebo. The FDA has agreed to allow access to the medication through a special program when the benefits outweigh the risks of series adverse events or for patients with no other treatment options. The FDA also indicated that it will consider limited re-introduction of the medication at a later date.
