Chinese instructions for Elobixibat

Elobixibat (Elobixibat) is a bile salt binder used to treat chronic constipation. Here is some common information about this drug to help you understand its properties and uses.

Indications: Eloxibate is indicated for the treatment of chronic constipation in adult patients, especially when diet and lifestyle modifications are unresponsive. It improves bowel movements by increasing the excretion of bile acids and promoting intestinal peristalsis.

Mechanism of Action and Pharmacology: The mechanism of action of eloxibat involves its binding to bile acids. Bile acid is a digestive fluid produced by the liver that aids in fat digestion. Eloxibate binds to bile acids, forming nonabsorbable complexes that prevent their absorption in the intestines. This causes more bile acids to be excreted from the body, stimulating intestinal motility and increasing bowel movement frequency.
