Category: Gastrointestinal Drugs
Alosetron is a generic name for a medication used to treat severe diarrhea-predominant irritable bowel syndrome (IBS-D) in women. It is marketed under the brand name Lotronex in the United States. The medication is available in oral tablet form, with strengths of 0.5 mg and 1 mg. Alosetron works as a 5-HT₃ receptor antagonist, modulating serotonin-sensitive gastrointestinal processes to alleviate symptoms associated with IBS-D.
Product Description:
Alosetron is a potent, selective 5-HT3 receptor antagonist. Serotonin released from enterochromaffin cells acts on 5-HT3 receptors on enteric neurons to speed colonic transit, increase secretion and heighten visceral sensitivity. Blocking those receptors slows transit, firms stool and reduces urgency and abdominal pain, which is why it is reserved for women with severe diarrhoea-predominant irritable bowel syndrome who have not responded to conventional treatment.
Its history shapes its use. It was withdrawn in the US in 2000, months after launch, following reports of ischaemic colitis and serious complications of constipation, some fatal. It returned in 2002 under a restricted programme with a lower starting dose. That programme was removed in 2023, but the boxed warning remains: treatment stops immediately if constipation or signs of ischaemic colitis such as rectal bleeding appear, and it is not started in patients who are constipated.
Sourcing notes. Generic tablets are available in the US, which is effectively the only market that registers alosetron for this indication. Buyers elsewhere should expect named-patient import rather than local registration. The approved population is narrow — women with severe IBS-D — and payers often require documented failure of other therapy, so volume is modest. Manufacture is conventional small-strength tablet work, where content uniformity at 0.5 mg is the specification to watch.
