New to Prescribing Vibrant®?

Vibrant is indicated for the treatment of adults with chronic idiopathic constipation who have not experienced relief of their bowel symptoms by using laxative therapies at the recommended dosage for at least 1 month.

Highly effective mechanism of action stimulates the colon’s natural rhythm

In patients with chronic idiopathic constipation (CIC), colon activity is often out of sync. Vibrant is a capsule that, when activated and swallowed, sends out pulsed micro-vibrations to stimulate the colon locally, which induces peristalsis and helps the colon contract mechanically, synchronizing with its biological clock.2

Proven effective with an excellent safety profile in clinical trials

Vibrant is a novel, non-pharmacological, intraluminal therapy that is proven to be efficacious and safe in patients with chronic idiopathic constipation (CIC).2

It is indicated for the treatment of adults with chronic idiopathic constipation who have not experienced relief of their bowel symptoms by using laxative therapies at the recommended dosage for at least 1 month.

Study design

Randomized, double-blind, multi-center, placebo-controlled phase 3 clinical trial with 312 adult patients diagnosed with chronic idiopathic constipation.

The primary efficacy endpoints were an increase of 1 or more complete spontaneous bowel movements per week (CSBM responder) or 2 or more CSBMs per week (CSBM ) from baseline during at least 6 of the 8 weeks.
