Ironwood Pharmaceuticals is a patient-focused, biotechnology company on a mission to advance the treatment of gastrointestinal (GI) diseases and redefine the standard of care for patients. At Ironwood, patients are at the center of everything we do. We’re committed to creating therapies that ease the burden of illness and meet important medical needs. We’re proud to have developed a first-in-class prescription medication, approved in the U.S. for adults with irritable bowel syndrome with constipation (IBS-C) and chronic idiopathic constipation (CIC), as well as for children (ages 6 to 17) with functional constipation.
Through our STARS study program, we are also advancing research for people with short bowel syndrome (SBS) who rely on intravenous (IV) nutrition and/or hydration. Recognizing the complex and often isolating journey patients face, we have partnered with the SBS community and organizations such as IFFGD to create essential resources that help patients prepare for medical appointments and find support.
