Mia is met by a future version of herself, who gently encourages her to speak with a doctor, because LINZESS (linaclotide) might be the key to helping her take control of IBS-C and move forward with confidence.

“Mia! Our doctor figured it out. Your symptoms keep coming back because it’s IBS-C. And LINZESS could help you get ahead of it. It’s not a laxative. It’s a once-daily pill that helps you get ahead of your symptoms. It’s proven to help you have more frequent and complete bowel movements and it helps relieve overall abdominal symptoms, belly pain, discomfort, and bloating,” Mia from the future says.

LINZESS (generic name: linaclotide) is a prescription medication used to treat specific chronic gastrointestinal (GI) conditions in adults such as Irritable Bowel Syndrome with Constipation (IBS-C), Chronic Idiopathic Constipation (CIC), and Functional Constipation.

“Do not give LINZESS to children less than two. It may harm them.
Do not take LINZESS if you have a bowel blockage. Get immediate help if you develop unusual or severe stomach pain, especially with bloody or black stools.
The most common side effect is diarrhea, sometimes severe.
If it’s severe, stop taking LINZESS and call your doctor right away.
Other side effects include gas, stomach area pain, and swelling. Imagine, what could relief from IBS-C mean for you? Talk to your doctor and say YESS to LINZESS.
