Abstract：
:Irritable bowel syndrome, which affects 5-10% of the population includes around 25% with predominantly diarrhoea (IBS-D). Several lines of evidence suggest an increase in mucosal 5-HT availability in IBS-D including a decrease in the serotonin transporter (SERT) which is also seen following acute diverticulitis. 5-HT(3) receptor antagonists have proved effective in suppressing urgency, prolonging small and large bowel transit and relieving symptoms in IBS-D. Alosetron continues to be used under restricted availability without any serious morbidity despite ischemic colitis which occurs at a rate of <1/1000 patient year. Other agents such as ramosetron and ondansetron are still in use and have not been associated with ischemic colitis. 5-HT(3) receptor agonists stimulate intestinal motility, shorten transit times and in a pilot trial accelerated transit in patients with IBS-C.
