Relistor (methylnaltrexone) for Opioid-Induced Constipation "I have been experiencing OIC and have been using every otc and natural remedy available. The issue has been ongoing for several months. I took my first Relistor injection 5 hours ago without success.I added some suppositories, magnesium citrate and a fleet enigma and expelled some gas and a few pellets of poop. Why have I not experienced and What can I expect with another injection tomorrow? This problem is totally incapacitating."

For Opioid-Induced Constipation "Incredible drug when used for opioid induced constipation (don’t expect it to do anything for constipation of other etiologies). I administered it multiple times and the results were phenomenal. Usually with 15 minutes, the problem was resolved."

Relistor (methylnaltrexone) for Opioid-Induced Constipation "So I was injured in car wreck in 2018, herniated a couple of disks in my back and I also have an issue where my disks are disintegrating. So after the wreck I was on pain pills for about 9 months talked to my dr because I was scared of being physically dependent on them. Dr put me on belbuca started low now up to 750 twice daily. Never had any issues going to the bathroom until all the pain meds. Dr gave me a few samples of relistor yesterday, took my first dose this morning nothing yet, I hope it works eventually....Was hoping for the 30 minute miracle lol.."
