Tegaserod accelerates orocecal transit in patients with constipation-predominant irritable bowel syndrome
Open accessAbstract
Background & aims This study evaluated the effects of a partial 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT)(4) agonist, tegaserod, on gastric small bowel and colonic transit in constipation-predominant irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).Methods After a 1 week run-in period, 24 patients with constipation-predominant IBS were randomized to 1 week of tegaserod, 2 mg twice daily, or placebo treatment. Scintigraphic gastric emptying, small bowel transit, and colonic transit were determined before administration of study drug and after 1 week on the medication. Colonic transit was also measured using radiopaque markers and a single radiograph on day 5.Results Gastric emptying was unaltered by tegaserod. Proximal colonic filling at 6 hours, a measure of orocecal transit, was accelerated by tegaserod (70.4% +/- 1.3% [mean +/- SEM] vs. placebo, 46.4 +/- 1.9; P = 0.015). Proximal colonic emptying half-time and geometric center at 48 hours were also accelerated by tegaserod compared with baseline, but not compared with placebo. Mean colonic transit time was similar in both groups at baseline and after drug administration (tegaserod, 59.5 +/- 2.1 hours; placebo, 62.1 +/- 2.1 hours).Conclusions Tegaserod accelerates orocecal transit, tends to accelerate colonic transit, and deserves further study in patients with constipation-predominant IBS.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
