(IBS-M), or unclassified (IBS-U). Since the exact cause
of IBS is unknown, the goal of treatment is symptom
control. Some over-the-counter (OTC) products and
prescription drugs for IBS are listed in Tables 1-4. The
safety of these drugs during pregnancy and lactation
is described in Table 5 (online only).
