| description | The present paper examines
approaches to drug therapy for irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).
Because IBS is associated with multiple symptoms, no single
therapy is effective in all patients. However, issues such as affective

patients with IBS. This paper emphasizes the importance of
identifying new pharmaceutical approaches to treat a multitude
of symptoms and obtaining a better understanding of the underlying
mechanisms of IBS. |
