Elobixibat constipation ke liye use hone wali medicine hai, especially chronic constipation mein.
Kaise kaam karti hai?
Normally bile acids small intestine ke last part, yani ileum, mein wapas absorb ho jaate hain. Elobixibat is reabsorption ko block karti hai, specifically ileal bile acid transporter ko inhibit karke.
Isse:
- Zyada bile acids colon tak pahunchte hain
- Colon mein paani aur electrolytes ka secretion badhta hai
- Intestinal movement/motility tez hoti hai
- Stool soft hota hai aur bowel movement aasaan, jaldi hota hai
Isliye yeh stimulant laxative ki tarah directly nerves ko irritate nahi karti, balki bile acids ke natural laxative effect ka use karti hai.
Yamada's Textbook of Gastroenterology, p. 1482. Recent evidence reviews also support benefit in chronic constipation, though effects and tolerability differ among patients (
2024 systematic review).
Kab lena chahiye?
- Aam taur par roz subah breakfast se pehle li jati hai.
- Tablet ko paani ke saath nigalna hota hai.
- Prescribed dose follow karein. Commonly 10 mg once daily prescribe hoti hai, aur kuch patients mein doctor 5 mg se start ya reduce kar sakte hain.
- Isko breakfast ke baad lene se effect unpredictable ya kam ho sakta hai. A study and prescribing review specifically support taking it before breakfast (administration study).
Missed dose: Double dose na lein. Us din aur dose leni hai ya next day continue karna hai, yeh apne doctor/pharmacist se confirm karein, especially agar aapne meal skip kiya ho.
