LINZESS 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) associated 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.
“After about a week of being on LINZESS, my bowel movements became more regular…and then, my pain started to subside.”
