Algorithms for pharmacological management of irritable bowel syndrome and functional dyspepsia. a) Irritable bowel syndrome. Dotted red boxes identify medications that are useful for more than one symptom in IBS-D, dotted blue boxes identify medications that are useful for combination symptoms in IBS-C. b) Functional dyspepsia. Dotted blue boxes identify medicines that target for both nutrient tolerance and pain. PPI = proton pump inhibitor; SNRI = serotonin noradrenergic reuptake inhibitor; SSRI = selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor; TCA = tricyclic antidepressant.
