Just google Propulsid.

banned. Thanks.

I can not help you with that, but I can tell you I took it in approx 1996
and it did indeed mess my heart up and was causing chest pains - nasty
stuff - that's why they banned it. Good luck with your search.

At least 30,000, taking a quick scan of papers on PubMed:

Hi Richard,

The link doesn't seem to work. It directs me to the general Bookshelf
page in NCBI. Do you have the title of the paper? Thanks.

Sorry, wrong link. Let's try that again:

Enger C, Cali C, Walker AM. Serious ventricular arrhythmias among users of
cisapride and other QT-prolonging agents in the United States.
Pharmacoepidemiol Drug Saf. 2002 Sep;11(6):477-86.
