How Linzess Can Help

 

LINZESS CAN HELP RELIEVE SYMPTOMS OF IBS-C & CIC

You may have tried to relieve chronic constipation through over-the-counter treatments, dietary changes, or exercise.
But if your symptoms keep coming back, talk to your doctor. It may be time to consider LINZESS.

LINZESS is a once-daily pill that can help proactively manage symptoms of IBS-C and CIC in adults, including belly pain and
overall abdominal symptoms* (pain, discomfort, and bloating) associated with IBS-C.

IBS-C

  • Constipation (lumpy or hard stools, infrequent and incomplete bowel movements)
  • Belly pain
  • Overall abdominal symptoms* (pain, discomfort, and bloating)

*Abdominal symptoms were studied in combination, not individually.

CIC

  • Constipation (lumpy or hard stools, infrequent and incomplete bowel movements)

How Linzess Works

 

How LINZESS Works

It isn’t a laxative. It’s a once-daily pill that can help proactively manage symptoms of IBS-C and CIC, including belly pain and overall abdominal symptoms* (pain, discomfort, and bloating) for adults with IBS-C.

LINZESS was the first approved treatment in a class of drugs that work differently than other medications.

It acts locally in the intestine and is thought to work in 2 ways:

  • Calms pain-sensing nerves
  • Accelerates bowel movements

*Abdominal symptoms were studied in combination, not individually.
This was seen in animal studies, and the relevance to humans is not known.

 

When Can I Expect To Start Seeing My IBS-C & CIC
Symptoms Improve With Linzess?

When LINZESS is taken daily, constipation relief is typically felt in about 1 week.

IBS-C

When LINZESS is taken daily, constipation relief is typically seen in about 1 week. Adults with IBS-C may begin to experience relief of belly pain and overall abdominal symptoms* (pain, discomfort, and bloating) in about 1 week, with symptoms typically improving over 12 weeks.

 

CIC

 

When LINZESS is taken daily, people with CIC may feel constipation relief in about 1 week, with symptoms typically improving over 12 weeks.

If you stop taking LINZESS, your symptoms could return in about 1 week.

*Abdominal symptoms were studied in combination, not individually.

Side Effects of Linzess

 

Common Side Effects & What To Do If They Occur

LINZESS can cause serious side effects including diarrhea, which sometimes can be severe.

Diarrhea is the most common side effect, and often begins within the first 
2 weeks of treatment. Stop taking LINZESS and call your doctor right away if you experience severe diarrhea while taking LINZESS.

Other side effects include:

  • Gas
  • Abdominal (belly) pain
  • Swelling, or a feeling of fullness or pressure in your abdomen (distension)

Tell your doctor if you have any side effects that bother you or do not go away. These are not all of the possible side effects of LINZESS. For more information, ask your doctor or pharmacist.

Go to the emergency room or call your doctor if you develop unusual or severe stomach-area (abdominal) pain, especially if you have bloody or black stools.

Keep LINZESS out of the reach of children.

You are encouraged to report negative side effects of prescription drugs to the FDA.
