Amitiza Reviews

Show: for
Working / Worked
I have to take in order to have somewhat of a BM
Was so optimistic about this new drug I had heard such good things about it. I tried it for 3 months and it did not help my consitpation at all infact it gradually got worse. I have quit taking it bc of the cost in addition that I was not benifiting from it.
Best medicine that I've tried
seemed to work at first not so sure now?? Take it twice a day
Works good for IBS-C, however it irritates my throat and respiratory system. I can only take it every once in a while or the side effects get too bad.
Doesnt work too well
Brings more water to the bowel, which in my world is a good thing
Just started taking 1 tablet twice a day for my constipation
Not Working
Nothing absolutely nothing
Not Working
