A member asked:
Can i take linzess or amitiza (lubiprostone) even with gallstones?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Having gall stones should not preclude your use of these medications, but note, you should get your gall stones treated so they do not cause serious issues in the future. Best wishes.
