Product Overview

Amitiza Capsules 24μg is an oral medication for chronic idiopathic constipation (CIC) in adults, meaning long-term constipation not caused by other diseases. Each soft gelatin capsule contains 24 micrograms of the active ingredient lubiprostone. Amitiza works by activating chloride channels in the intestinal lining to increase fluid secretion, which softens the stool and promotes regular bowel movements. This full-strength 24μg capsule is the standard recommended dose for most adults, providing effective relief from chronic constipation symptoms. Amitiza is made in Japan and produced under strict quality control, meeting superior quality standards for safety and efficacy.

Dosage Guidelines

The typical adult dosage is one 24μg capsule taken twice daily, once after breakfast and once after dinner. Take each dose with food and water; swallow the capsule whole without breaking or chewing it. Taking Amitiza with food helps reduce the likelihood of nausea. If you experience discomfort or side effects, your doctor may adjust the dosage (the dose can be reduced if necessary). Always follow your healthcare provider’s instructions and do not change or stop the prescribed regimen on your own.

Possible Side Effects

Some patients may experience side effects, most commonly affecting the digestive system. Nausea and diarrhea are among the most frequently reported side effects. You might also experience stomach-area symptoms like abdominal pain or bloating, or possibly headache. A few people have reported a sensation of chest tightness after taking Amitiza. These side effects are usually mild and tend to occur early in treatment. They often subside as your body adapts to the medication, and will typically resolve if the medication is paused or the dose is lowered under medical advice.

FAQ

Q: What if I miss a dose of Amitiza?
A: If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember unless it’s almost time for your next dose. If your next dose is due soon, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular schedule. Do not take two doses at the same time to make up for a missed one.

Q: How do I store Amitiza capsules?
A: Store them at room temperature, away from direct light and moisture. Keep each capsule in its original blister pack until you’re ready to take it, to protect it from humidity. Make sure to keep this medication out of reach of children.

Q: When can I expect Amitiza to start working?
A: Amitiza often begins to provide relief quickly. In clinical studies, about 60% of adult patients had a bowel movement within 24 hours of the first dose. Many people notice improvements within the first day or two, though it may take a few days of regular use for full benefits to be realized.

Q: Is it safe to drink alcohol while taking Amitiza?
A: There are no specific prohibitions against moderate alcohol use with Amitiza, but caution is advised. Drinking alcohol could potentially worsen some side effects like dizziness or dehydration from diarrhea. It’s wise to limit or avoid alcohol while using Amitiza, and if you do drink, stay hydrated and pay attention to how you feel.

Q: Will taking Amitiza affect my ability to drive or work?
A: Amitiza does not cause drowsiness for most people and generally should not impact your daily activities. However, if you feel light-headed or dizzy after taking a capsule, you should refrain from driving or operating heavy machinery until those effects pass. Always use caution until you know how the medication affects you personally.
