What is Amitiza and how does it work?, Gel suppository? If so, if you take in the morning, don’t you worry about it effecting before bedtime? Thanks Greg
Hi,
I'm a C4-5 Quad, 20 years. My doctor prescribed Amitiza about 5
years ago. I take 24mg every morning. I do my bowel care at night. I can't go
well without it. It works great for me. I also use the Magic Bullet
Suppositories. Any other questions, feel free to ask.
Kathy

Hi Guys,
Anyone using Amitiza for their Bowel Program?
Since I started ingesting large dosages of pain meds and using
Fentyl patches my program has been an all or nothing event. When, about every 5
days, it's all, the Results are disastrous. Seems never ending with wet gas
passes and the inevitable skin break down. Beyond day 3, it's dysreflexia
anytime up until I finally go. Enema as last resort.
Doc gave me Amitiza starting with one 8mg gel tab before bedtime.
Does anyone use it, and at what dosage? I have a box of 8mg and a
box of 24mg. Do you take it every day?
Thanks
