Mode of Action

Lubiprostone is a locally acting chloride channel activator that enhances a chloride-rich intestinal fluid secretion without altering sodium and potassium concentrations in the serum. Lubiprostone acts by specifically activating ClC-2, which is a normal constituent of the apical membrane of the human intestine. By increasing intestinal fluid secretion, Lubiprostone increases motility in the intestine, thereby facilitating the passage of stool and alleviating symptoms associated with chronic idiopathic constipation.

Precaution

Safety has not been established in pregnant women. Not to be used in patients with severe diarrhoea. Lactation: Unknown whether drug is excreted in breast milk; because lubiprostone increases fluid secretion in the intestine and intestinal motility, monitor breastfeeding infants for diarrhea
