Abstract

Elobixibat is useful in improving the bowel movements of patients with chronic constipation. No significant difference was noted in the improvement of bowel movements due to cholecystectomy. It was suggested that even post-cholecystectomy patients could obtain therapeutic effects similar to patients with gallbladders.
