Summary: Study of Tegaserod vs. Placebo in Female Patients 18 and Older Suffering From Non-Ulcer Dyspepsia.

You may suffer from Non-Ulcer Dyspepsia if you experience an early sense of fullness with eating, mid to upper abdominal pain or discomfort, bloating and or possible nausea or vomiting.

What dose dyspepsia mean?
The word dyspepsia describes a recurrent pain or discomfort that may occur in or around the mid to upper abdomen. Often the mid to upper abdomen is referred to as the stomach area.

What causes dyspepsia?
Unfortunately, there is no definitive cause for dyspepsia, although, researchers have identified several factors that may contribute to the condition. Some contributing factors include:

• Improper function of the digestive system
• Psychological and social factors such as anxiety, depression and stress

The main purpose of this study is to demonstrate that Tegaserod is superior to placebo in improving symptoms of dyspepsia over six weeks of treatment in female patients. Our physicians invite you to take part in a clinical research study for dyspepsia. We are studying the investigational use of an already approved medication.

We encourage you to inquire if you:

• Are female 18 years of age or older
• Have experienced the symptoms of dyspepsia previously listed during any 12 weeks of the past year
• Have NOT been diagnosed with GERD, active IBS or diabetes that requires treatment with insulin
