I would prefer to take linzess with food instead of empty stomach. would that be alright?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: If you take Linzess with food, you may suffer increased side effects involving abdominal pain, diarrhea and gas. To reduce symptoms of gastrointestinal intolerance, Linzess needs to be taken 30 minutes before you eat your first meal of the day.
