What Are The Side Effects Of Linzess When Taken After Food?
I took linzess for the first time this evening but did not realize it should be taken on an empty stomach. I ate my dinner about 2 hours ago. Does this mean Linzess will not work? What sid effects will I have because I did not take it on an empty stomach.

Hi,
Linzess taken after food will not cause any major side effects. It should be noted that the drug works most effectively in an empty stomach.
Please ensure that you take the medication daily 30 minutes before breakfast for maximum efficacy.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
