Consider Trulance for IBS With Constipation
February 2022
You'll see Trulance (plecanatide), a new Rx for patients with irritable bowel syndrome with constipation (IBS-C).
Think of it as similar to Constella (linaclotide) or Ibsrela (tenapanor). All these meds increase sodium and water content in the gut to help speed up GI transit.
But keep in mind that about 1 in 10 patients on these meds see improvement in abdominal pain, bloating, etc.
