About This Medication

# myAbbVie Assist Patient Guide: How to Get Viberzi at Low or No Cost ## About Viberzi (Eluxadoline) Viberzi is a prescription medication used to treat irritable bowel syndrome with diarrhea (IBS-D) in adults. It works by slowing down activity in the gut to relieve diarrhea and abdominal pain. Viberzi is a mixed-opioid medication that targets local opioid receptors in the gut rather than the central nervous system, making it less likely to cause constipation or lead to opioid tolerance and dependence. In clinical trials, Viberzi helped some patients improve their abdominal pain and diarrhea associated with IBS-D. ## What is myAbbVie Assist? myAbbVie Assist is a patient assistance program offered by AbbVie, the manufacturer of Viberzi.
