Common Questions and Answers about Amitiza medication
amitiza
Having said all of the above there is one difference I noticed with the Amitiza and that is the medication has greatly reduced the syncope episode I was having during a bowl movement which were occurring about once a month.
Since I have been prescribed a Amitiza, which was about six months ago, I only had one syncope incident which by itself is a help to me.
I hope my brief exegesis helps.
My daughter began amitiza and it has worked wonderfully, however, she is spotting in between periods. Is this common?
This is on top of a strong oral medication (Amitiza) and magnesium. With Miralax, I get the stuff in the bottle and take 1 1/2 capfuls once a day and as needed.
Have you tried taking magnesium citrate every morning? Have you tried Amitiza? I have not tried Linzess yet, but Amitiza is pretty good for me.
You could try taking walnut hull and wormwood preparation for parasites to see if that helps you.
Also take Lactulose and Amitiza. However, in order to take the Amitiza must take a nausea pill before and after. Often times still have nausea with the Amitiza and not convinced it helps all that much. I've been at this for 8 yrs and have done everything but stand on my head. Without pills and powder - bowel movements are difficult and every 3-5 days. And only partial. EXTREMELY bloated. Have difficulty fitting into street clothes later in the day. Makes work life and social life difficult.
I am not on any medication for the gastric distress they have described as epigastric pain. The last attact was sudden onset and quite severe. Not having a diagnosis at this point, I have concerns the pain will return. I've had mild abdominal pain for several months. I've lost more than 10 pounds since the symptoms worsened as my appetite decreased. Any suggestions for how to pursue a diagnosis at this point.
I did and its been a month and it still hasnt healed. Having trouble with constipation and I am on amitiza. Any advice is welcome. As well, my doctor told me to take a stool softner twice a day to. Thinking about starting to eat soup.
I had an endoscopy and found out I have a large duodenal ulcer with partial outlet obscrtuction.Can I take Amitiza with this ulcer?I was supposed to have a colonoscopy but I couldn't get completely clear.I was put on a drug to help heal the ulcer and a proton pump inhibitor.I just want to know if it is safe to amitiza.I am on opiods so I need it.
I also have to take a strong Rx medication - Amitiza - but due to the expense, you will want to avoid that if possible. It costs hundreds of dollars every month, but without it my system shuts down. Besides the long and twisted colon that a scope could not get through, I have Celiac disease.
For about six months I've been having muscle weakness and discomfort. I have this constant urge to stretch, but the stretching never helps with the discomfort. I also feel like my wrists are always clenched and they sometimes hurt. Also, when I'm lying down my arms have this really weak tired feeling. I've also been experiencing lightheadedness as well and it's worse sometimes when I'm standing.
Hiya!
I suffer with IBS, I have had it since a young age, anyway! I can sometimes become constipated, I do eat lots of Fresh fruit and Veg, I don't eat high sugar sweets/junk food!
Ive been suffering from chronic constipation for approx 6 years now. I was first diagnosed with IBS but that doesn seem to be the case.. no medication or laxative have ever worked. I went for a colonoscopy last year, after taking movicol for 4 days prior and the prep to clean out the colon before the procedure,not much came out & there was still waste in the colon. Specialist reckons I have a slow moving colon, meaning it doesn push stuff out quick enough.
now 75 mg. Tricor 145 ;Simvastatin 20. GastroE Amitiza 2/day, Lactulose. PCP Wellbutrin 200SR 2/day, Clonapin 1 mg/night. New PCP found B12, Vit D deficient '07. Started more; now Vit D 50,000/2wks, B12 inject/3 wks.
Please explain Echo. PH or insignificant? All symptoms related to MS or different heart problem? Appreciate your advice.
I would also avoid the straining, and instead use stool softeners, natural products, and if necessary medication such as amitiza or relistor to combat the constipation, at least until you know that you are not making something worse.
I am on milk of magnesia, amitiza, and dulcolax and my doctor wants me to try to get off the milk of magnesia. You can try using other medications for constipation to see if that works better. Amitiza is a new one out there but sometimes certain ones work better than others. Has your doctor ever mentioned abdominal migraines?
As for the constipation, try taking one capful (the little cup thing that comes with the bottle) of milk of magnesia every day. Talk to your GP about Amitiza, you might be a good canidate for that, as well. Not every constipation problem needs fiber as most people (and some doctors believe)-I did that for years and my problem continued. I laid off the fiber as directed by my gastroenterologist, took the Amitiza & m of m each night and my troubles were over.
Long and twisted colon that tends to slow passage of stool and cause constipation that can be quite severe. I take Miralax and Amitiza for mine. They work, but are expensive - especially the latter.
Had breast reconstruction over 10 years ago - TRAM flap with abdominal muscle. Digestion issues worsen every year. Physician prescribed Amitiza last year but now have to meet new-year deductible before I can benefit from manufacturer coupon. Symptoms now include increased, painful bloating, no burps, no flatulence and no bowel movement after about 5 days drinking only water. Usually fruit or juice will help but nothing is helping or happening. Suggestions welcome and encouraged.
I hate taking medication and can often be reluctant to do so. After 2+ weeks! the Amitiza was nit helping the constipation so I was advised to use 24 mcg twice a day. After a few days, no improvement so called and was advised she wanted me to clean myself out but not a colon cleanse. Of course, the next day, my bowels started to move so I am holding off on that for now.
