  7. 07AnimalAnimal study (in vivo)Mechanism

    In mice, linaclotide did not directly inhibit bladder afferents. Bladder normalization involved reduced nociceptive signaling from the colon.

    Summary
    Linaclotide itself does not inhibit bladder afferents, rather normalization of bladder function by daily linaclotide treatment occurs via indirect inhibition of bladder afferents via reduced nociceptive signaling from the colon.
