Resum
UNASSIGNED
Lubiprostone is a novel laxative that sometimes causes nausea, but preventive strategies remain unconfirmed.
UNASSIGNED
We retrospectively chose 126 patients prescribed lubiprostone from 2013 to 2016. Medical records were reviewed to clarify whether nausea developed after administration of the drug. Background characteristics, including concomitant medicines, were also reviewed.
UNASSIGNED
The most common adverse symptom was diarrhea (23.8%). Nausea occurred in 16 patients (12.7%). Patients taking either prokinetics or herbal medicines or both were unlikely to develop nausea (p = 0.007).
UNASSIGNED
Concomitant prokinetics and/or herbal medicines may help alleviate lubiprostone-induced nausea.
