There is a wrong structure in the article of lubiprostone.

There should be only 5 carbons at the side chain of 1,1-difluoropentyl. And the formula of lubiprostone only 20 carbons, but the structure shows 21 carbons. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 211.78.179.120 (talk) 15:24, 9 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The current structure is correct. ChemNerd (talk) 20:34, 13 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Indications

why have we no mention of the fact that, according to the official website, the drug is approved only for use in women? Toyokuni3 (talk) 15:58, 1 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

=absorption

this should be absorption not metabolism: "Data indicate that metabolism occurs locally in the stomach and jejunum." Most oral drugs are absorbed in the jejunum.
