A member asked:
Can i take amatiza after having two bowel obstructions a week apart that resulted in two bowel resections?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Amortization: The use of Amitiza (lubiprostone) is contraindicated in patients with bowel obstructions. Would recommend consulting with your surgeon before restarting amitiza (lubiprostone).
