Diarrhea Prescription Medications

EnteraGam™ is a new prescription medical food product that has been shown in clinical studies to improve GI absorption, immune function and mucosal barrier functioning  in the intestine.  It acts within the GI tract, going beyond symptom management by targeting multiple factors in IBS-D. In clinical trials, it significantly reduced the number of days with GI-related symptoms; has been used safely up to one year in length; and has no restrictions on length of therapy. Further details in the EnteraGam™ Prescribing Information.

LOTRONEX® is a medicine only for some women with severe chronic IBS whose main problem is diarrhea and IBS symptoms have not been helped enough by other treatments. Some patients have developed serious bowel side effects while taking LOTRONEX.

LOTRONEX may be right for you if all of these things are true about you:

• Your doctor has told you that your symptoms are due to IBS.
• Your IBS bowel problem is diarrhea.
• Your IBS has lasted for 6 months or longer.
• You tried other IBS treatments and they didn't give you the relief you need.
• Your IBS is severe.

You MUST do 3 things if you are going to take LOTRONEX (From the Lotronex Prescribing Information):

1) Understand that LOTRONEX has serious risks.
2) Sign a Patient-Physician Agreement with your doctor.
3) Follow the directions in the FDA Medication Guide. If you cannot follow ALL of these, you should not take LOTRONEX.

A Co-pay Assistance Savings Program for LOTRONEX® exists from the pharmaceutical.
