That's very possible. My premie grandaughter was born with a birth defect that required them to re-arrange her insides and take a portion of her intestines out (they were knotted). She was put on the Propulsid and Zantac. Still takes the Zantac today, and she is 4 years old. For whatever reason, they took her off of the Propulsid when she was about 10 months old, if I recall correctly. I don't know when it was withdrawn from the market to compare that timing to.
