✅ Description:
Lubiprostone is a chloride channel activator that increases intestinal fluid secretion, promoting bowel movements without affecting sodium and potassium levels in the blood. It activates ClC-2 channels on the intestinal lining, improving stool passage and relieving constipation symptoms.
Additionally, Lubiprostone restores the intestinal mucosal barrier by enhancing tight junction proteins. It acts locally in the intestines; symptom relief is usually observed within 24 hours.
