Safely Buy Trulance ( Plecanatide ) from Canada Prescriptions Plus.

Indications

Trulance (plecanatide) is a prescription medicine used in adults to treat irritable bowel syndrome with Constipation (IBS-C) and Chronic Idiopathic Constipation (CIC).

Trulance works by activating certain receptors in the intestine, which accelerates bowel movements and enhances the secretion of fluid into the bowel, making it easier to pass stools.

Plecanatide was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in January 2017 for the treatment of CIC in adults. It is nearly identical to uroguanylin, a naturally occurring and endogenous human GI peptide.
