What dose of IBSRELA (tenapanor) is used for IBS-C?
IBSRELA (tenapanor) is taken as a tablet by mouth, typically at a dose of 50 mg twice daily for irritable bowel syndrome with constipation (IBS-C).
How should IBSRELA be taken (timing with meals)?
IBSRELA is taken before meals. Patients usually take it about 30 minutes before eating to help it work in the gut. Swallow the tablet whole with water.
What if you miss a dose?
If you miss a dose, take it when you remember unless it is close to the next scheduled dose. Do not take two doses at once to make up for the missed tablet.
Can IBSRELA be adjusted for other conditions or side effects?
The dosing guidance can depend on individual tolerability and clinician direction. The most common reason dosing plans change is side effects, especially diarrhea, which can be dose-limiting for some patients.
What side effects are most tied to dosing?
Diarrhea is the most common IBSRELA side effect and can occur soon after starting or after dose adjustments. If diarrhea becomes severe or persistent, contact a clinician promptly to discuss whether treatment should be modified or stopped.
Where can I verify the exact prescribing dose?
