Opioids are prescription medicines like codeine, hydrocodone, morphine, oxycodone, fentanyl, and tramadol that are used to treat pain. Opioid-induced constipation is one of the most common side effects of opioid use.1-3
Opioids block pain signals by attaching to something called mu-receptors in the brain and other parts of the central nervous system. However, opioids also attach to mu-receptors in the bowel, which can cause opioid-induced constipation.4
MOVANTIK is a prescription medicine used to treat constipation that is caused by prescription pain medicines called opioids, in adults with long-lasting (chronic) pain that is not caused by active cancer.5
MOVANTIK—one pill once a day—is specifically designed for OIC in adults with chronic non-cancer pain. It works by blocking opioids from binding to something called mu-receptors in your bowel.5
In clinical studies, MOVANTIK worked quickly, often within 6 to 12 hours of the first dose.5
MOVANTIK is a prescription medicine specifically for constipation from opioids in adults with chronic non-cancer pain.5
When starting MOVANTIK, changes to a patient's opioid dosing regimen are not required.5
MOVANTIK may cause serious side effects, including5:
Opioid withdrawal.
- Patients may have symptoms of opioid withdrawal during treatment with MOVANTIK including sweating, chills, diarrhea, stomach pain, anxiety, irritability, and yawning. If patients take methadone, they may be more likely to have stomach pain and diarrhea than people who do not take methadone
Severe stomach pain or diarrhea, or both severe stomach pain and diarrhea.
- Severe stomach pain and diarrhea can happen when taking MOVANTIK. These problems can happen within a few days after starting MOVANTIK and can lead to hospitalization. Patients should stop taking MOVANTIK and call a healthcare provider right away if they have severe stomach pain or diarrhea, or both severe stomach pain and diarrhea
Tear in your stomach or intestinal wall (perforation).
- Stomach pain that is severe can be a sign of a serious medical condition. If patients have stomach pain that gets worse or does not go away, stop taking MOVANTIK and get emergency medical help right away
The most common side effects of MOVANTIK include: stomach (abdomen) pain, diarrhea, nausea, flatulence, vomiting, and headache.5
Patients should tell their healthcare provider if they have any side effect that bothers them or that does not go away. These are not all the possible side effects of MOVANTIK.

Patients should take MOVANTIK exactly as their health care provider prescribes. MOVANTIK should be taken 1 time each day, on an empty stomach, at least 1 hour before the first meal of the day or 2 hours after the meal. Patients should also stop taking other laxatives before they start treatment with MOVANTIK. A health care provider may prescribe other laxatives if MOVANTIK does not work after 3 days of treatment.5

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION ABOUT MOVANTIK
- MOVANTIK® (naloxegol) is contraindicated in:
- Patients with known or suspected gastrointestinal (GI) obstruction and patients at risk of recurrent obstruction, due to the potential for GI perforation
- Patients receiving strong CYP3A4 inhibitors (eg, clarithromycin, ketoconazole) because these medications can significantly increase exposure to naloxegol which may precipitate opioid withdrawal symptoms
- Patients with a known serious or severe hypersensitivity reaction to MOVANTIK or any of its excipients
- Symptoms consistent with opioid withdrawal, including hyperhidrosis, chills, diarrhea, abdominal pain, anxiety, irritability, and yawning, occurred in patients treated with MOVANTIK. Patients receiving methadone as therapy for their pain condition were observed in the clinical trials to have a higher frequency of GI adverse reactions that may have been related to opioid withdrawal than patients receiving other opioids. Patients with disruptions to the blood-brain barrier may be at increased risk for opioid withdrawal or reduced analgesia. These patients (eg, multiple sclerosis, recent brain injury, Alzheimer's disease, and uncontrolled epilepsy) were not enrolled in the clinical studies. Take into account the overall risk-benefit profile when using MOVANTIK in such patients. Monitor for symptoms of opioid withdrawal when using MOVANTIK in such patients
- Severe abdominal pain and/or diarrhea have been reported, generally within a few days of initiation of MOVANTIK. Monitor and discontinue if severe symptoms occur. Consider restarting MOVANTIK at 12.5 mg once daily
- Cases of GI perforation have been reported with the use of peripherally acting opioid antagonists, including MOVANTIK. Postmarketing cases of GI perforation, including fatal cases, were reported when MOVANTIK was used in patients at risk of GI perforation (eg, infiltrative gastrointestinal tract malignancy, recent gastrointestinal tract surgery, diverticular disease including diverticulitis, ischemic colitis, or concomitantly treated with bevacizumab). Monitor for severe, persistent, or worsening abdominal pain; discontinue if this symptom develops
- Avoid concomitant use of moderate CYP3A4 inhibitors (eg, diltiazem, erythromycin, verapamil) because they may increase the risk of adverse reactions. Use of strong CYP3A4 inducers (eg, rifampin, carbamazepine, St. John’s Wort) is not recommended because they may decrease the efficacy of MOVANTIK. Avoid concomitant use of MOVANTIK with another opioid antagonist due to the increased risk of opioid withdrawal
- The use of MOVANTIK during pregnancy may precipitate opioid withdrawal in the pregnant woman and the fetus. Because of the potential for adverse reactions, including opioid withdrawal in breastfed infants, advise women that breastfeeding is not recommended during treatment with MOVANTIK
- The most common adverse reactions with MOVANTIK as compared to placebo in clinical trials were: abdominal pain (21% vs 7%), diarrhea (9% vs 5%), nausea (8% vs 5%), flatulence (6% vs 3%), vomiting (5% vs 4%), headache (4% vs 3%), and hyperhidrosis (3% vs <1%)
