Date:10/6/2008

ually. IBS patients fall largely into three subgroups -- constipation-predominant (IBS-C), diarrhea-predominant (IBS-D), and mixed IBS(IBS-M) -- and 30% to 40% of these patients suffer from IBS-C. There are currently few available therapies to treat the nine million U.S. patients diagnosed with IBS-C.

About Chronic Constipation (CC)

As many as 26 million Americans suffer from CC. Patients with CC often experience hard and lumpy stools, straining during defecation, a sensation of incomplete evacuation, and fewer than three bowel movements per week. The discomfort of CC significantly affects patients' quality of life by impairing their ability to work and participate in typical daily activities.
