Eluxadoline for treating irritable bowel syndrome with diarrhoea - NICE TAG TA471

1.1 Eluxadoline is recommended as an option for treating irritable bowel syndrome with diarrhoea in adults, only if:

• the condition has not responded to other pharmacological treatments (for example, antimotility agents, antispasmodics, tricyclic antidepressants) or

• pharmacological treatments are contraindicated or not tolerated, and

• it is started in secondary care.

1.2 Stop eluxadoline at 4 weeks if there is inadequate relief of the symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome with diarrhoea.

1.3 These recommendations are not intended to affect treatment with eluxadoline that was started in the NHS before this guidance was published. Adults having treatment outside these recommendations may continue without change to the funding arrangements in place for them before this guidance was published, until they and their NHS clinician consider it appropriate to stop.
