Buy Amitiza Online

(Lubiprostone)

The active ingredient in Amitiza is lubiprostone. This medication is a laxative and belongs to a class of medications known as chloride channel activators. Its mechanism of action involves turning on switches in your cells that tell more fluid to come into your intestines and gastrointestinal tract. This softens the stool, making it easier to have a bowel movement.
