A member asked:
Does linzess actually relieve chronic idiopathic constipation better than placebo ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
I feel that gastroenterologists have more experience with this medication and can better attest to its efficacy in treating constipation in the irritable bowel syndrome. It takes lots of cases to be really familiar with a medication and its efficacy.
