LINZESSÂ® (linaclotide) is a prescription medication used in adults to treat irritable bowel syndrome with constipation (IBSâC) and chronic idiopathic constipation (CIC). Idiopathic means the cause of the constipation is unknown. It is not known if LINZESS is safe and effective in children less than 18 years of age.
