Linzess is a prescription medication used to treat chronic idiopathic constipation and irritable bowel syndrome with constipation (IBS-C). It works by increasing the natural secretion of fluid in the small intestine, which helps to soften stools and stimulate bowel movements.

Linzess is known for its efficacy, as clinical trials have shown it to be both safe and effective. It is an effective treatment for chronic constipation, allowing patients to experience relief from uncomfortable symptoms such as abdominal pain and bloating.

Linzess is an FDA-approved medication used to treat chronic constipation and irritable bowel syndrome with constipation (IBS-C). It is a once-daily capsule that helps reduce abdominal pain, bloating, and straining associated with these conditions.

The inactive ingredients of Linzess 72 mcg capsules include calcium chloride dihydrate, L-histidine, microcrystalline cellulose, polyvinyl alcohol, and talc, while the capsule shell is comprised of gelatin and titanium dioxide. The inactive ingredients of Linzess 145 mcg and 290 mcg capsules are calcium chloride dihydrate, hypromellose, L-leucine and microcrystalline cellulose, with the capsule shell being composed of gelatin and titanium dioxide.

Adults should take Linzess on an empty stomach, at least 30 minutes before the first meal of the day. It is important to swallow Linzess whole without crushing or chewing it for maximum effectiveness. If a dose of Linzess is missed, it should be skipped, and the next dose should be taken at the regular time. Do not take two doses at the same time.

Alternatively, the contents of the capsule may be emptied into an ounce (30 milliliters) of water. The mixture should be swirled for 20 seconds and then consumed without chewing. An additional ounce (30 milliliters) of water should be added to the cup, swirled for 20 seconds, and then drunk immediately in order to receive the whole dose.

The water mixture can also be administered through a tube into the stomach (nasogastric or gastric tube). If you are administering this medication through a tube, be sure to consult your healthcare provider for detailed instructions on how to do so.

The recommended dosage of Linzess for Irritable Bowel Syndrome with Constipation (IBS-C) is 290 mcg orally once daily. For Chronic Idiopathic Constipation (CIC), the recommended dosage is 145 mcg orally once daily. Depending on an individual’s presentation or tolerability, a dosage of 72 mcg once daily may be used.
