Hello...
Zelapar's been available in England for quite a while. Where else is it available? Looks like it may be used in Italy and Portugal. Am I right in thinking it's not on the market in the US? Does anyone know why?Apparantly the manufacturer of Zelapar, Medeus, has just changed its name to Zeneus Pharma.
