corrected for zelnorm

Tegaserod is a 5-HT4 agonist used for the management of constipation-predominant irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). It is currently marketed by Novartis under the trade names Zelnorm (in the US) or Zelmac (in other countries).

Tegaserod is a motility stimulant. Therapeutic effect is achieved through activation of 5-HT4 receptors of the enteric nervous system in the gastrointestinal tract. Tegaserod stimulates gastrointestinal motility and the peristaltic reflex, and possibly also reduces abdominal pain (Rossi, 2004).
