A
Alosetron is approved for use in women only with diarrhea-predominant IBS; this statement in-dicates understanding.
Alosetron is not approved for symptoms of IBS in men, only women; further teaching is needed.
Alosetron is approved only for use in women with IBS associated with diarrhea. It therefore would be contraindicated in pregnant women with iron-associated constipation and children with IBS; further teaching is needed.
