Summary of Clinical Use Click here for help
Tenapanor was approved by the FDA (in September 2019) as a twice daily oral pill for the treatment of constipation-predominant irritable bowel syndrome (IBS-C). In October 2023 the FDA approval was expanded to include using tenapanor to reduce serum phosphorus patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) on dialysis and for whom phosphate binders are inadequate or unsuitable.
Mechanism Of Action and Pharmacodynamic Effects Click here for help
Tenapanor selectively inhibits sodium uptake in the intestines, causing the retention of fluid and ions in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. This has a two-fold action, firstly reducing levels of sodium entering [2] and secondly stimulating fecal excretion. The compound is substantially impermeable to the layer of gut epithelial cells, which restricts its action to the internal surface of the GI tract. As an anti-constipation therapy, tenapanor acts as a prosecretory agent, restoring appropriate fluid secretion in the gut, and thereby improving stool consistency and intestinal transit (concomitantly decreasing intestinal discomfort) [3].
