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.
The FDA approved use of Linzess in IBS with constipation is 290 Âµg orally once daily, and in chronic idiopathic constipation the approved dose of Linzess is 145 Âµg orally daily. In both conditions, Linzess is best taken at least 30 minutes prior to first meal of the day.
