What is Zelnorm?

Zelnorm (tagaserod maleate) is a medicine for:

The short-term treatment of women who have irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) with constipation (not enough or hard bowel movements) as their main bowel problem. Zelnorm does not work for all women who use it. Zelnorm has not been shown to work in men with IBS with constipation.

The treatment of patients (men and women) less than 65 years of age with chronic idiopathic constipation. Chronic constipation means constipation lasting over 6 months. Idiopathic constipation means constipation not due to other diseases or drugs. Zelnorm has not been shown to work in patients (men and women) with chronic idiopathic constipation who are 65 years of age or older.

Zelnorm increases the movement of stools (bowel movement) through the bowels. Zelnorm does not cure IBS with constipation or chronic idiopathic constipation. For those with IBS with constipation who are helped, Zelnorm reduces pain and discomfort in the abdominal area, bloating, and constipation. For those with chronic idiopathic constipation, Zelnorm increases bowel movements, reduces straining, bloating and abdominal discomfort. If you stop taking Zelnorm, your symptoms may return within 1 or 2 weeks.

Zelnorm is the first—and only—medicine proven to relieve all three symptoms of IBS with constipation in women: Abdominal pain or discomfort, Bloating, and Constipation—the "ABCs".

You should not start taking Zelnorm if you have diarrhea now or often; if you have bad kidney or liver disease; if you have ever had intestinal blockage, symptomatic gallbladder disease, or abdominal adhesions causing pain and/or intestinal blockage; or if you are allergic to Zelnorm or any of its ingredients.

How does Zelnorm work?
Zelnorm works differently from laxatives, fiber, and other medications. It imitates the action of serotonin, a naturally occurring chemical in the body that helps keep your gastrointestinal (GI) tract working normally. Only prescription Zelnorm coordinates the nerves, muscles, and fluid in the GI tract, so it starts functioning more normally.

How do you take Zelnorm?
Zelnorm should be taken twice a day, or as prescribed by your doctor. Zelnorm is a small tablet you take on an empty stomach shortly before a meal. It's best to develop a regular routine for taking Zelnorm, such as before breakfast and dinner. Your doctor may prescribe Zelnorm for up to 6 weeks to treat your IBS with constipation symptoms. If you feel better, your doctor may prescribe up to 6 weeks more of Zelnorm.

Ask if Zelnorm is right for you
Zelnorm may not be right for everyone. If you are pregnant, plan to become pregnant, are breast-feeding or are taking or planning to take other medicines, make sure you tell your doctor. He or she can decide if Zelnorm is right for you.

You should not start taking Zelnorm if you have diarrhea now or often; if you have bad kidney or liver disease; if you have ever had bowel obstruction (intestinal blockage), symptomatic gallbladder disease, or abdominal adhesions causing pain and/or intestinal blockage; or if you are allergic to Zelnorm or any of its ingredients
