Disease relevance of Zelmac

  • Tegaserod accelerates orocecal transit in patients with constipation-predominant irritable bowel syndrome [1].
  • Novel approaches include alosetron; a 5-HT(3) antagonist, tegaserod, a partial 5-HT(4) agonist, kappa-opioid agonists, and neurokinin antagonists to address the remaining challenging symptoms of pain, constipation, and bloating [2].
  • Reductions in the number of days with at least moderate abdominal pain/discomfort, bloating, no bowel movements, and hard/lumpy stools were greater in the tegaserod group compared with the placebo group [3].
  • On the basis of tegaserod's mechanism of action, it was hypothesized that tegaserod may accelerate the return of gastric function in intensive care unit patients with gastroparesis [4].
  • The use of tegaserod in critically ill patients with impaired gastric motility [4].
 

Psychiatry related information on Zelmac

  • Effect of tegaserod on esophageal pain threshold, regurgitation, and symptom relief in patients with functional heartburn and mechanical sensitivity [5].
  • It would also be of interest to know whether treatment with tegaserod leads either directly, or indirectly, to changes in visceral sensitivity or psychopathology, which are also considered important in the pathophysiology of this condition [6].

Anatomical context of Zelmac

  • Tegaserod can act as a promotile agent throughout the gastrointestinal tract [18].
  • Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the effects of tegaserod on gallbladder contractility and on functional status of the sphincter of Oddi during both the interdigestive and the digestive periods in healthy female subjects and in female patients with IBS-C [17].
  • Tegaserod shortened the small intestine transit time by 30% after oral and by 37% after intravenous administration [18].
  • Exposure of rat colonic mucosa to tegaserod in the range of 5 nM to 5 muM for 5 or 10 min caused rapid time- and concentration-dependent desensitization of the peristaltic reflex induced by mucosal stroking, consistent with the operation of a rapidly desensitizing 5-HT(4b) receptor subtype [19].
  • Tegaserod does not alter fasting or meal-induced biliary tract motility [17].
