Your child’s health is important to us.
Constipation is a common condition and one of the main reasons for a visit to a gastroenterologist. Your child may be diagnosed with functional constipation, a term that means there is no underlying disease causing his or her symptoms. The current study is evaluating a medication as a treatment of functional constipation in children and adolescents. The study doctors are investigating the safety and tolerability of the drug for pediatric patients. The results will help provide more information for the future of constipation treatments for children and adolescents. Consider signing up your child for this study today.
