Detailed Description

Open-label long-term safety study of tenapanor in pediatric patients with IBS-C. Eligible patients who complete the parent study will have an option to enroll in this study.

Patients from the parent study will continue tenapanor at the same dose assigned in the parent study which can be titrated to either 50 mg BID or 25 mg BID per guidance in protocol after a patient's first week on the assigned dose. Patients will also return for study visits approximately every 6 weeks for safety assessments.
