Global Opioid Induced Constipation Treatment Market Overview
Opioids are medications that block pain signals by attaching throughout the nervous system to the receptor cells which are also found in the bowels. Application of opioids results in distention and bulged abdomen with dry and hard stools. Thus, these medications increase the overall time of stool passage through the system by attaching to the receptors in the gut. Opioids are used for reducing non-cancerous chronic pains which generally result in constipation which is defined as less than three bowel movements in a week. The constipation induced by opioids can be treated with the help of stimulants, stool softeners, and osmotics. Stimulants increase intestinal contractions and induce bowel activity whereas stool softeners helps in easier stool passage by increasing the water content in the colon and osmotics aid in constipation treatment by helping movement of fluid through the colon. There are various laxatives present in the market for the purpose of stool softening as an Over the Counter (OTC) option in rectal and oral formulations. Opioid induced constipation can also be treated by various prescription drugs such as, naloxegol, methylnaltrexone and others that are present easily in the market.
