Susan VO:
Because there are many potential underlying causes of IBS-C, there is no one-size-fits-all treatment approach.
That’s why I let my patients know that we have different medications to treat IBS-C, which is good because there are many underlying causes for this condition, and classes of drugs work differently for different people.
I also talk to my patients about the importance of having good two-way communication between us. There will be a lot of trial and error to find the right medication for each patient, but with a collaborative, joint decision-making process, we will work together to find the treatment that is right for them.
