constipation, drug induced
"I have read all of the reviews and am surprised at so many with serious side effects.  That is a shame, because I have had remarkable success with Movantik.  I have taken opioids for 8 years due to chronic and severe degenerative disk disease.  I have taken fentanyl, morphine, oxycontin, hydromorphone, etc.  The most current treatment is 24 mg of hydromorphone and 15mg of methadone per day.  Constipation was a terrible side effect.  I continually used OTC of all types, to little avail. At times, I would go 4-6 days w/o a BM.  I had a BM on the first day I took 25mg of Movantik. No side effects.  I take it once per day, and have a BM almost once per day. Sometime at the most every two days. Stools are not irregular. For me, a miracle drug"
