No, Linzess works best when taken every day as prescribed. The typical Linzess (linaclotide) dosage for adults with constipation due to irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is 290 mcg once daily. A lower Linzess dosage of 72 mcg once daily is recommended for adults and children ages 6 to 17 years with chronic constipation without a known cause. The adult dose can go up to 145 mcg, if needed. It’s best to take Linzess by mouth in the morning, 30 minutes before your first meal of the day. You can swallow the capsules whole or mix the contents in water or applesauce if that’s easier for you.
