Frequently Asked Questions
In clinical studies, some patients started feeling relief from their constipation within the first week of treatment, and for most patients, relief continued throughout the 8-week study period. Individual results may vary.1 If you have any questions, contact your healthcare provider.
If your healthcare provider diagnoses your condition as chronic idiopathic constipation (CIC), then you may be able to take Vibrant. Constipation is classified as CIC when the patient doesn’t respond to laxative therapies for at least 1 month. Vibrant is not indicated for other types of chronic constipation, such as IBS-C or opioid-induced constipation. Please talk to your healthcare provider to see if Vibrant is right for you.
Vibrant should not be used if you have any of the following conditions:
- History of complicated/obstructive diverticular disease
- History of intestinal or colonic obstruction, or suspected intestinal obstruction
- Clinical evidence of current and significant gastroparesis
- History of significant gastrointestinal disorder, including any form of inflammatory bowel disease or gastrointestinal malignancy (celiac disease is excepted if you have been treated and it is in remission), and/or anal fissures and fistulas
- History of Zenker’s diverticulum, dysphagia, esophageal stricture, eosinophilic esophagitis, or achalasia
- Women who are pregnant or lactating
Please talk to your healthcare provider to see if Vibrant is right for you.
Yes. Vibrant has been studied in 6 multicenter clinical trials in over 800 patients in the US. On the whole, Vibrant was shown to significantly improve frequency of complete spontaneous bowel movements and cause less straining, more normal stools, and a better quality of life when compared with a placebo. Additionally, no severe adverse events were observed during the clinical trials. Some side effects that may occur with Vibrant are abdominal pain, blood in stool, and diarrhea. In rare cases, obstruction may occur.1
Clinical

Vibrant is an FDA-cleared, drug-free, state-of-the-art treatment for adults with chronic idiopathic constipation (CIC).
Laxatives and many prescription medications work by flooding the colon to move its contents through. This can result in unpleasant and unpredictable diarrhea. Vibrant works differently, sending out micro-vibrations as it passes through your colon. These micro-vibrations signal the colon to move its contents through, just as it is supposed to. This means you can have more frequent, more predictable, and more complete spontaneous bowel movements, with a low occurrence of diarrhea (1.2%) reported in clinical trials.1,2,3
Vibrant is available only by prescription, so ask your healthcare provider. Once they prescribe Vibrant, you’ll be contacted by EVERSANA Life Science Services to arrange delivery directly to your home.
In clinical trials, Vibrant started working within 1 week, and most patients had significant improvement by week 3, continuing throughout the study period.1
You’ll receive a Vibrant starter kit containing a multi-use activation pod, one month’s supply of disposable capsules, and instructions to download the companion app.
Vibrant Capsules are about the size of standard vitamin capsules commonly used in the U.S.
Most people don’t feel the vibrations. About 1 in 9 participants in clinical studies reported they thought they could feel a vibration.1
The capsule is naturally passed during a bowel movement. You’ll receive 20 capsules per month (recommended dose is 5 per week).
