There is a relatively new device that was recently FDA-approved for chronic idiopathic constipation, and that’s the vibrating capsule. I think some of you may be aware of this device. So it’s a device that is FDA-approved for five times a week and is activated twice. So typically, you take it in the evening, and it activates around noon the next day, and then 6 p.m. that same day, each for 2 hours’ time. In phase 3 clinical trials, it did significantly improve the number of complete spontaneous bowel movements per week, which was statistically significant over the sham device. So this is a new device that’s available.
It does have to be programmed. So it’s not just getting a pill, but you have to get the device that actually activates it. So you have to get the box first and then as well as the pill with it. But it’s not absorbed. It’s been shown to be safe but you do take it five times a week.
