Core Tip	Although previous trials have confirmed the efficacy of a single dose of otilonium bromide (OB) on well-defined endpoints in patients with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), no study has specifically defined the optimal dosage of OB on standard IBS efficacy measures in a controlled cross-over design. Findings from this dose-ranging study demonstrate that OB at 40 and 80 mg can improve both individual and global clinical IBS symptoms compared to placebo over 4 wk. All doses of OB were well tolerated compared to placebo. Future long-term controlled trials on global efficacy measures will help reinforce findings from the present trial.
