alosetron

Generic Name: alosetron (oral) (a LO ze tron)
Brand Names: Lotronex

What is alosetron?

Alosetron blocks the action of a chemical called serotonin in the intestines. This slows the movement of stools (bowel movements) through the intestines.

Alosetron is used to treat severe, chronic irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) in women who have had diarrhea as the main symptom for at least 6 months. Alosetron should be used only in women who have tried other IBS treatments without success. Alosetron has not been shown to be effective in men with IBS.

Alosetron may also be used for purposes other than those listed in this medication guide.

What is the most important information I should know about alosetron?

Do not start taking alosetron if you are constipated. If you have constipation while taking alosetron, call your doctor right away.

Serious or fatal side effects on the stomach and intestines have occurred in some people taking alosetron. Alosetron should be prescribed only by a qualified doctor who is enrolled in a prescribing program specific for this drug. You will be required to read and sign a Patient-Physician Agreement form before you get a prescription for alosetron.

In rare cases, alosetron has caused severe constipation, or ischemic colitis (caused by reduced blood flow to the intestines). Stop taking alosetron and call your doctor right away if you develop new or worsening constipation, stomach pain, bloody diarrhea, or blood in your stools (bowel movements). If the constipation is severe or gets worse, and you also have increasing stomach discomfort, stop taking alosetron and do not start taking it again until you talk to your doctor. If your constipation does not improve after you stop taking alosetron, call your doctor again.

Alosetron does not improve the symptoms of IBS for everyone. When alosetron does work well, it helps reduce stomach pain and discomfort, bowel urgency, and diarrhea. Some or all symptoms may improve within one to two weeks of treatment.
