12Medications
Many medications can be used to deal with different symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome. For instance, antispasmodic drugs would alleviate abdominal pain and cramping by relaxing your gut muscles. Antimotility medications would slow down the intestine’s contractions, thus improving diarrhea. To relieve constipation, your doctor might prescribe bulk-forming laxatives, which could be bought online or OTC. All of these medications should be taken with caution to prevent some possible side effects. In most cases, they are often the last line of treatment if other therapeutic methods or lifestyle changes do not work. [12]
