How much does Elobixibat cost?

Elobixibat (Elobixibat) is a drug that is a bile acid transporter inhibitor and is used to treat chronic constipation. Bile acid is a natural substance produced by the liver and plays an important role in helping digest fat in the intestines. Eloxibate works by affecting the circulation of bile acids in the intestines, improving intestinal motility and water balance, thereby relieving constipation symptoms.

Eloxibat is not currently on the market in China, so patients cannot purchase it domestically and need to purchase eloxibat through overseas channels. There are only original eloxibate drugs available abroad, mainly from Japan, and the price is around 2,200yuan.

Constipation refers to difficulty in defecation, dry stool, and difficulty in defecation, which may lead to abdominal discomfort, bloating, and a range of discomforts. Traditional treatments include increasing fiber intake, staying hydrated, and engaging in moderate exercise, but in some cases, these methods may not be effective in relieving constipation.

In this case, eloxibate, as an innovative drug treatment, provides another option. Its working mechanism is to increase the concentration of bile acids in the intestine by inhibiting the reabsorption of bile acids in the intestine, thereby promoting intestinal peristalsis, making it easier for feces to pass through the intestines, and reducing constipation discomfort.

The use of eloxibat must be done under the guidance of a doctor, who will determine the appropriate dosage and medication method based on the patient's specific conditions. Typically, eloxibate is available as an oral tablet, which is recommended to be taken with breakfast. During use, patients need to pay close attention to any adverse reactions and report them to their doctor in a timely manner.

However, eloxibate may also cause some side effects, such as abdominal pain, diarrhea, nausea, etc. Therefore, before using drugs, patients should inform their doctors about their health conditions and the drugs they are taking so that the doctors can make accurate assessments and recommendations.
