What Is Amitiza Used For?

Amitiza contains the active ingredient lubiprostone and belongs to a class of medications known as chloride channel activators. In this capacity, Amitiza enhances the secretion of chloride-rich intestinal fluid through turning on areas of the apical membrane of the human intestine. Amitiza is indicated for certain cases of chronic idiopathic constipation and irritable bowel syndrome with constipation in some adult women. Through the secretion of extra intestinal fluid, Amitiza enhances intestinal motility and helps reduce constipation.

Amitiza - Dosage and Cost

Amitiza is available as Amitiza 8 mcg and Amitiza 24 mcg in pink and orange colored oval capsules. Amitiza is often prescribed at doses of Amitiza 8 mcg twice daily or Amitiza 24 mcg twice daily, depending on the indication for use. Amitiza should be taken orally with water and food. Amitiza costs up to $5 per Amitiza 24 mcg capsule, at many pharmacies in the United States, making it a moderately expensive medication. At times, it is possible to find an Amitiza coupon online or from the manufacturer when paying for the prescription out of pocket.
