Diarrhea Prescription Medications

Latest Poll: If you suffer from a chronic pain condition (IBS or other painful condition), how do you feel about your doctor's care?

Note:

There is only a single medication that has been approved for diarrhea predominant IBS. 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.
