Indications
Elobixibat is used to treat chronic idiopathic constipation. It isn't meant for constipation that is linked to organic diseases.
⚠️ Always consult a registered physician before taking any medicine.
Pharmacology
Elobixibat blocks the ileal bile acid transporter (IBAT), which sits on the epithelial cells of the terminal ileum and normally takes bile acid back into the body. With reabsorption inhibited, more bile acid passes into the large intestine. There, the bile acid draws water and electrolytes into the lumen and also makes the colon move more. This is how Elobixibat relieves constipation.
Pregnancy & Breastfeeding
During Pregnancy: Pregnant women, and women who may be pregnant, should use Elobixibat only if the expected benefit of the treatment outweighs the possible risks.
During Lactation: Women who are breastfeeding should avoid Elobixibat. If treatment with Elobixibat is essential, breast feeding must be stopped for the duration of treatment.
