Please note that you will need a prescription from a licensed healthcare provider to obtain this medication.

Lubiprostone is primarily prescribed for the treatment of two types of constipation:

Chronic Idiopathic Constipation (CIC) and Opioid-Induced Constipation (OIC): This condition is characterized by infrequent bowel movements and difficulty passing stool without an identifiable underlying cause.

Irritable Bowel Syndrome with Constipation (IBS-C): Lubiprostone can also be used to alleviate constipation in individuals with irritable bowel syndrome, where constipation is a predominant symptom.

While using lubiprostone, some individuals may experience side effects, although not everyone will.

Common side effects may include:

• Headache
  
• Flatulence (gas)
  
• Vomiting

It's essential to promptly report any side effects or concerns to your healthcare provider.

Before starting treatment with lubiprostone, inform your healthcare provider about any existing medical conditions, allergies, or other medications you are taking, including prescription drugs, over-the-counter medications, and dietary supplements, as they may interact with lubiprostone.

Specifically, discuss any history of:

• Gastrointestinal disorders or obstructions
  
• Kidney disease

If you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding, consult your healthcare provider before using lubiprostone to assess potential risks and benefits.

The recommended dosage of lubiprostone may vary depending on the specific type of constipation being treated, individual factors, and your healthcare provider's guidance. It is typically taken orally in capsule form.

For chronic idiopathic constipation (CIC) and opioid-induced constipation (OIC), the usual dose is taken twice daily with food. For irritable bowel syndrome with constipation (IBS-C), the dosing regimen may vary based on your healthcare provider's instructions.

Follow your healthcare provider's instructions regarding dosing and other recommendations for taking lubiprostone.

Do not discontinue or alter your dosage without consulting your doctor, as this can affect the medication's effectiveness.

Store lubiprostone as directed by your healthcare provider or pharmacist. Proper storage is essential to maintain the medication's effectiveness. Typically, lubiprostone should be stored at room temperature, away from excessive heat, light, and moisture.

Keep the medication out of the reach of children and ensure that the container is tightly closed.
