SAFETY

LINZESS has a well-established safety profile among IBS-C patients¹

LINZESS was evaluated in 2 phase 3 placebo-controlled safety trials involving more than 1600 adults with IBS-C

IBS-C, irritable bowel syndrome with constipation.

*“Abdominal pain” term includes the preferred terms: abdominal pain, upper abdominal pain, and lower abdominal pain.

Diarrhea was the most commonly reported adverse reaction of LINZESS¹

In placebo-controlled clinical trials, 2% of the IBS-C patients treated with LINZESS reported severe diarrhea vs less than 1% in patients receiving placebo
The majority of reported cases of diarrhea started within the first 2 weeks of LINZESS treatment

The most common adverse reaction is diarrhea, which may appear in the first 2 weeks of treatment¹

INDICATIONS AND USAGE

LINZESS^® (linaclotide) is indicated for the treatment of:

irritable bowel syndrome with constipation (IBS-C) in adults
chronic idiopathic constipation (CIC) in adults
functional constipation (FC) in pediatric patients 6 to 17 years of age

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

WARNING:
RISK OF SERIOUS DEHYDRATION IN PEDIATRIC PATIENTS LESS THAN 2 YEARS OF AGE LINZESS is contraindicated in patients less than 2 years of age; in nonclinical studies in neonatal mice, administration of a single, clinically relevant adult oral dose of linaclotide caused deaths due to dehydration.

Contraindications

LINZESS is contraindicated in patients less than 2 years of age due to the risk of serious dehydration.
LINZESS is contraindicated in patients with known or suspected mechanical gastrointestinal obstruction.

Warnings and Precautions
Risk of Serious Dehydration in Pediatric Patients Less Than 2 Years of Age

LINZESS is contraindicated in patients less than 2 years of age. In neonatal mice, linaclotide increased fluid secretion as a consequence of age-dependent elevated guanylate cyclase (GC-C) agonism, which was associated with increased mortality within the first 24 hours due to dehydration. There was no age-dependent trend in GC-C intestinal expression in a clinical study of children 2 to less than 18 years of age; however, there are insufficient data available on GC-C intestinal expression in children less than 2 years of age to assess the risk of developing diarrhea and its potentially serious consequences in these patients.

Diarrhea

In adults, diarrhea was the most common adverse reaction in LINZESS-treated patients in the pooled IBS-C and CIC double-blind placebo-controlled trials. The incidence of diarrhea was similar in the IBS-C and CIC populations. Severe diarrhea was reported in 2% of 145 mcg and 290 mcg LINZESS-treated patients and in <1% of 72 mcg LINZESS-treated CIC patients. In pediatric patients 6 to 17 years of age, diarrhea was the most common adverse reaction in 72 mcg LINZESS-treated patients in the FC double-blind placebo-controlled trial. Severe diarrhea was reported in one LINZESS-treated patient. If severe diarrhea occurs, dosing should be suspended and the patient rehydrated.

Common Adverse Reactions (incidence ≥2% and greater than placebo)

In IBS-C or CIC adult patients: diarrhea, abdominal pain, flatulence, and abdominal distension.
In FC pediatric patients: diarrhea.
