Think of Trulance as Similar to Constella or Ibsrela for IBS-C

February 2022

You'll see Trulance (plecanatide), a new Rx for patients with irritable bowel syndrome with constipation (IBS-C).

Think of Trulance as similar to Constella (linaclotide) or Ibsrela (tenapanor). These meds increase fluid in the gut to help speed up movement...and relieve bloating and abdominal pain.

Trulance will likely be saved for when lifestyle changes, fibre, and peg laxatives (Restoralax, etc) aren't enough.
