A member asked:
I just started taking linzess, the highest dose. how long will it take for it to start working and my bowel movements to become regular?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Great drug choice: Linzess is a non-systemic agent that works within 1 week to improve both the frequency and completeness of emptying, and within 6-8 weeks to reduce the sense of abdominal discomfort that often accompanies constipation. Take one pill before your first meal daily.
