How Does Linzess Work?

What is Linzess used for? Linzess contains the active ingredient linaclotide and belongs to a class of medications known as guanylate cyclase-C agonists and is a 14-amino acid peptide. Linzess is used in the management of constipation in adults with chronic idiopathic constipation and irritable bowel syndrome with constipation - somewhat similar to dicyclomine (Bentyl). Linzess, along with some of its metabolites, bind to the surface of the intestines, resulting in metabolic changes which increase the secretion of chloride and bicarbonate into the intestinal lumen. Through these secretions, Linzess is thought to increase transit of fluids in the intestines and reduce pain. Following administration, the systemic availability of Linzess is low and plasma concentrations of Linzess are not measurable. Some drug is excreted in the stool.
