📋Overview
Plecanatide is a medication that acts on the digestive system to help regulate bowel movements. It is commonly associated with the management of chronic idiopathic constipation and irritable bowel syndrome with constipation. Plecanatide works by mimicking a natural substance in the body that helps increase fluid secretion in the intestines. This action can promote easier and more regular passage of stool.
