📋Overview
Gattex is a medication that contains teduglutide, a synthetic analog of a naturally occurring human protein called glucagon-like peptide-2 (GLP-2). It is primarily associated with the management of short bowel syndrome, a condition where the body cannot absorb enough nutrients due to a lack of functional small intestine. Gattex works by helping to improve the absorption of nutrients and fluids in people with this condition. It is typically considered for individuals who require additional support with intestinal function.
