What is Lotronex?

Lotronex contains the prescription medicine alosetron. Lotronex is a potent blocker of specific serotonin receptors in the gastrointestinal tract in the body. Lotronex is used for the treatment of severe chronic irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) in women that have severe diarrhea, and:

• Have not been treated adequately with other medication
• Have had chronic IBS for 6 months or longer

The IBS is classed as severe if as well as diarrhea, you have regular bowel urgency or fecal incontinence, severe and regular pain or feeling uncomfortable in the abdominal area, or your daily activities are restricted because of the IBS. Lotronex is not recommended for men and due to the serious adverse reactions that can occur from taking Lotronex, it is only used for patients that will have a clear benefit from taking it.

Lotronex active ingredients

Alosetron is an effective blocker of serotonin receptors in the gastrointestinal tract where these receptors are located in large amounts. Serotonin receptors are also located in other places within the body. Serotonin receptors, when normally stimulated are involved in the control of pain within the trunk area of the body, the passage of food through the digestive system, and secretions from the gastrointestinal tract that are related to the IBS. Lotronex by blocking the serotonin receptors is able to help control all of these processes in the body. The exact causes of IBS are however not fully understood.
