How Does Linzess Work?
Linzess contains Linaclotide, which activates guanylate cyclase-C (GC-C) receptors in the lining of the intestines. This action:

- Speeds intestinal transit
- Reduces constipation symptoms
- May reduce abdominal pain associated with certain bowel disorders
Unlike stimulant laxatives, Linzess works locally in the intestines with minimal absorption into the bloodstream.
