Documented Uses

• Preparation: I.H. Coates et al., EP 306323; eidem, US 5360800 (1989, 1994 both to Glaxo)
• Alosetron, a selective 5-HT3-receptor antagonist, is indicated for the treatment of irritable bowel syndrome in female patients whose predominant symptom is diarrhea. /Salt not specified/
• ... Animal models have shown it to be active in anxiety, psychosis, cognitive impairment, emesis & drug withdrawal, though its application in humans has been almost entirely restricted to irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). ... Alosetron appears promising in the treatment of abdominal pain & discomfort & normalising of bowel function in patients with non-constipated IBS. It also improves quality of life, has a high degree of tolerability & has an excellent safety profile to date. /Salt not specified/
• Plasma concentrations of alosetron are 30 to 50% lower in men than in women given the same oral dose. In patients with irritable bowel syndrome, concentrations of alosetron are influenced by gender. Efficacy has not been established in men at any dose. /Salt not specified/
• /Alosetron/ should not be used in irritable bowel syndrome patients currently constipated or whose predominant bowel symptom in constipation because constipation is a frequent side effect of alosetron. /Salt not specified/
• ... Constipation is the most frequent adverse event, with a higher incidence of transient constipation in alosetron-treated patients, typically occurring in the first month of treatment. /Salt not specified/
