Elobixibat

Uses

Elobixibat is used in the treatment of constipation.

How it Works

Elobixibat works by increasing bile acid secretion in the intestine, which promotes water secretion and motility, ultimately facilitating bowel movements.

Side Effects

Common side effects of Elobixibat include abdominal pain and nausea.

Expert Advice

  • Take Elobixibat at the same time each day to help regulate bowel movements and enhance results.
  • Drink plenty of water throughout the day to boost the effectiveness of Elobixibat.
  • Staying hydrated helps soften stools and eases their passage, making bowel movements more comfortable.
  • Add fiber-rich foods such as vegetables, fruits, and whole grains to your diet to support healthy digestion and improve the efficacy of Elobixibat.
  • Avoid taking Elobixibat with a large, fatty meal, as this may increase the likelihood of side effects such as bloating and gas.
  • Full results may take a few days to a week.
  • Be patient and follow your doctor’s instructions, as regular use is often necessary for optimal effects.
