About linaclotide

What is linaclotide?
Linaclotide (brand name: Linzess) is an FDA-approved prescription medication used to treat two chronic bowel disorders: Irritable Bowel Syndrome with Constipation (IBS-C) and Chronic Idiopathic Constipation (CIC) in adults. In 2023, the FDA also approved linaclotide to treat Functional Constipation (FC) in pediatric patients aged 6 to 17 years.

Linaclotide belongs to a class of drugs known as guanylate cyclase-C agonists. It works directly in the gut and is not absorbed into the bloodstream, making it a local, non-systemic treatment. Linaclotide helps increase fluid in the intestines and improves bowel movement regularity while also reducing abdominal pain—one of the key challenges in IBS-C.

Because it targets both discomfort and irregularity, linaclotide is often recommended when over-the-counter laxatives haven’t worked. It’s not a quick-fix medication but rather a longer-term treatment for ongoing digestive issues. For the best results, linaclotide must be taken exactly as prescribed by a licensed healthcare provider.

How to get a linaclotide prescription online

Getting a linaclotide prescription online is fast and convenient through Klarity’s telehealth platform. Whether you’re managing IBS-C, CIC, or functional constipation in a teen, Klarity connects you with licensed U.S. providers who can evaluate your condition and prescribe treatment if appropriate.

Step 1: Start your visit
Go to Klarity and complete a short intake form detailing your urinary symptoms and medical history. This helps your provider understand your condition before the consultation.

Step 2: Meet with a licensed provider
Connect with a U.S.-based healthcare professional—often the same day. During your virtual visit, your provider will evaluate your symptoms to determine if phenazopyridine is appropriate, or if another treatment is better suited.

Step 3: Get your prescription
 If prescribed, your medication can be sent to a pharmacy of your choice. Many patients begin treatment within hours of their consultation.

Step 4: Follow up If needed
 Your provider may recommend follow-up care, especially if symptoms persist or if additional testing is needed.

How does linaclotide compare to other medications

Linaclotide is one of several FDA-approved treatments for chronic constipation and IBS-C, but it stands out for its dual action—it increases bowel movements and reduces abdominal pain. Many alternatives only treat one of these symptoms.

Comparison with other medications:
Polyethylene Glycol (MiraLAX): An OTC osmotic laxative that increases stool water content. It’s effective for occasional constipation but does not relieve abdominal discomfort and is not ideal for IBS-C.
Lubiprostone (Amitiza): Another prescription option for IBS-C and CIC. It activates chloride channels but may cause more nausea and must be taken twice daily.
Prucalopride (Motegrity): Used for chronic idiopathic constipation. It’s a serotonin receptor agonist with pro-motility effects, but may cause headaches, nausea, or abdominal cramping.
Lactulose: A sugar-based laxative used for constipation and liver conditions. It may cause bloating and gas, and it’s not typically the first choice treatment option for IBS-related symptoms.

Linaclotide is often the preferred option for patients with IBS-C, especially when pain is a prominent symptom. Its once-daily dosing and non-systemic action make it a practical and effective long-term solution.
