The recommended dosage of IBSRELA in adults is 50 mg orally twice daily. The recommended dosage in adults is 50 mg, orally twice daily. ( 2 ) Take immediately prior to breakfast or the first meal of the day and immediately prior to dinner. ( 2 ) Administration Instructions Take IBSRELA immediately prior to breakfast or the first meal of the day and immediately prior to dinner [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.2) ] . If a dose is missed, skip the missed dose and take the next dose at the regular time. Do not take 2 doses at the same time.

Most common adverse reactions (≥2%) are diarrhea, abdominal distension, flatulence and dizziness.

The safety data described below reflect data from 1203 adult patients with IBS-C in two randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trials (Trial 1 and Trial 2). Patients were randomized to receive placebo or IBSRELA 50 mg twice daily for up to 52 weeks. Demographic characteristics were comparable between treatment groups in the two trials [see Clinical Studies (14) ] . Most Common Adverse Reactions The most common adverse reactions reported in at least 2% of patients in IBSRELA-treated patients and at an incidence greater than placebo during the 26-week double-blind placebo-controlled treatment period of Trial 1 are shown in Table 1.

IBSRELA is contraindicated in: Patients less than 6 years of age due to the risk of serious dehydration [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) , Use in Specific Populations (8.4) ]. Patients with known or suspected mechanical gastrointestinal obstruction . Pediatric patients less than 6 years of age. ( 4 , 5.1 , 8.4 ) Patients with known or suspected mechanical gastrointestinal obstruction. ( 4 )

Based on nonclinical data, overdose of IBSRELA may result in gastrointestinal adverse effects such as diarrhea as a result of exaggerated pharmacology with a risk for dehydration if diarrhea is severe or prolonged [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ].

OATP2B1 Substrates: Potential for reduced exposure of the concomitant drug (e.g., enalapril). Monitor for signs related to loss of efficacy and adjust the dosage of the concomitantly administered drug as needed. ( 7.1 ) 7.1 OATP2B1 Substrates Tenapanor is an inhibitor of intestinal uptake transporter, OATP2B1 [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] . Drugs which are substrates of OATP2B1 may have reduced exposures when concomitantly taken with IBSRELA. Monitor for signs related to loss of efficacy and adjust the dosage of concomitantly administered drug as needed. Enalapril is a substrate of OATP2B1. When enalapril was coadministered with tenapanor (30 mg twice daily for five days, a dosage 0.6 times the recommended dosage), the peak exposure (C max ) of enalapril and its active metabolite, enalaprilat, decreased by approximately 70% and total systemic exposures (AUC) decreased by approximately 50% to 65% compared to when enalapril was administered alone [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] . Monitor blood pressure and increase the dosage of enalapril, if needed, when IBSRELA is coadministered with enalapril.
