Linaclotide is the non-proprietary name for a medication that alleviates both constipation and abdominal pain in individuals who suffer from irritable bowel syndrome with constipation (IBS-C) and chronic idiopathic constipation (CIC). Patients more commonly buy Linaclotide under its brand name, Linzess.

This product should never be used in patients under age 6, and parents of children age 7 to 17 are discouraged from buying Linaclotide to treat them. Likewise women who are pregnant or breastfeeding should not use this product; neither should individuals who have a bowel obstruction.

Because Linaclotide works entirely in the intestine, with none of it being absorbed elsewhere in the body, interactions with other medications are unlikely. Most side effects are mild and not cause for concern, including gas, diarrhea, stomach distention, and stomach discomfort.

Those planning to buy Linaclotide should be aware of the risk of diarrhea. Mild, infrequent diarrhea is not cause for concern, but it can become severe with Linaclotide use. This usually happens within the first two weeks of treatment. If it does happen---at any point in treatment---stop taking Linaclotide until speaking with a doctor.

Get Things Moving with Linaclotide

Linaclotide comes in capsules. Capsules are ideally swallowed whole, without chewing. Those who have difficulty swallowing whole capsules may open it and sprinkle the contents in fluid or soft foods, such as applesauce, provided the resulting mixture is not chewed. Those unable to swallow at all may mix capsule contents with fluids and administer via gastrostomy tube.

Capsules should be taken once per day, every day, ideally in the morning about 30 minutes before breakfast.

To treat irritable bowel syndrome with constipation (IBS-C):

• The standard dose is 290 mcg once per day.

And to treat chronic idiopathic constipation (CIC):

• The standard dose is 145 mcg once per day.

Patients should not exceed 290 mcg per day; do not take a double-dose if a dose is missed.

Linaclotide increases fluid secretion into the intestine while decreasing the sensitivity of pain-detecting nerves. It is technically not a laxative, and there are no known gut-motility issues associated with long-term use. Patients who buy Linaclotide can expect easier, more frequent bowel movements and less abdominal pain or discomfort.

Unfortunately this medication doesn't work for everyone; those who don't notice much difference after a few weeks of treatment should discuss alternatives with a doctor.
