How it works

From the US prescribing label for the same active substance (Gattex). It describes the substance, not this exact product.

Teduglutide is an analog of naturally occurring human glucagon-like peptide-2 (GLP-2), a peptide secreted by L-cells of the distal intestine.

GLP-2 is known to increase intestinal and portal blood flow and inhibit gastric acid secretion.
