Pay to Poop? New pooping medication approved by the FDA

(NaturalNews) For most lazy Americans it is easier to pop a pooping pill than to change the diet or exercise. They would rather pay to poop now and manage the side-effects later than change harmful lifestyle habits. This is why the FDA just approved the drug linaclotide, AKA Linzess (jokingly dubbed laziness), recently for the treatment of chronic idiopathic constipation and irritable bowel syndrome with constipation (IBS-C). But if you really want healthy bowel movements don't rush out to demand this medication from your pill-pushing doc.

Constipation affects up to 27 percent of American adults and occurs more often in women, causing many negative symptoms that hurt quality of life. Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a gastrointestinal disorder that comes with chronic abdominal pain and decreased bowel movements - ultimately leading to output of hard and dry stool. Constipation is often caused by medications, health conditions, diet and lifestyle choices.

How safe is Linzess?

Long-term side-effects are actually non-existent with the new drug Linzess. Not because it is a super drug, but because 26 weeks of study on 804 people is what you get. How responsible is this? Other Linzess studies were 12 weeks during treatment phase with a four-week follow-up period. 16 percent of study participants dropped out with diarrhea in one of these 12-week studies. But, there's no need to wait for long-term studies to see how safe this drug is as long-term studies are very costly and documenting those pesky side-effects can keep a blockbuster drug off the market. Unfortunately, this turns the public into the cost-efficient and high-paying lab rats for a look at long-term side-effects.

Known side-effects of linaclotide: The biggest major adverse event associated with this new class of drugs has been diarrhea, while other adverse effects reported were flatulence, abdominal pain, abdominal distention, headaches, nasopharyngitis, and upper respiratory and urinary tract infections.
