IBSRELA (tenapanor hydrochloride) is an oral tablet approved in September 2019 for irritable bowel syndrome with constipation (IBS-C) in adults. It works by inhibiting the sodium/hydrogen exchanger 3 (NHE3) on the intestinal epithelium, reducing sodium absorption and increasing water secretion into the intestinal lumen.
