Vibrant, a new vibrating pill, may help ease chronic constipation without the use of drugs.
The FDA cleared Vibrant for use in August 2022, but the treatment just became available for doctors to prescribe this week.
The first-of-its-kind therapy helps to stimulate colonic motility from inside the body, and is eventually expelled through a bowel movement.

Since there is no medication and it is classified as a medical device, I wonder if Medicare will cover the cost.


It's clearly not "durable medical equipment".

Don't know about anybody here, but don't want something vibrating in my insides lol. I guess this appeals to a certain very select segment of the population .

One of the funniest things I've ever heard.
Yet, jiggling in the intestines to get things moving ...good idea!!!

Add this to the long list of work-arounds that address the symptoms but not root cause of the issue. I don't know about you but I'd much rather change my diet than put one of these into my body.
