I’m studying for my pharm. quiz/lecture tomorrow, and I have come across two drugs that are targeted toward women for IBS. These drugs are Amitiza (lubiprostone) and Alosetron (Lotronex). It says the Amitiza is for women with constipation predominant IBS and Alosetron is for women with diarrhea predominant IBS.

My question is…why are these targeted for women only?

Details are great.

Thanks in advance.
