The effects of coffee while taking Linzess may be a concern to some people. For example, how will the two interact in the body? In this article, we’ll explain what you need to know about drinking coffee while taking Linzess.<\/p>\n
Linzess (generic name Linaclotide) is an orally administered medication used to treat irritable bowel syndrome with constipation (IBS-C) and chronic constipation.<\/p>\n
It works by increasing the secretion of a watery fluid in your intestines. This stimulates the colon to become more active, making it easier to have a bowel movement. In a study of hundreds of patients, Linzess was found to reduce constipation and increase bowel movements.<\/p>\n
Linzess also works to reduce abdominal pain and bloating associated with IBS-C.<\/p>\n
