constipation, drug induced
"I help my 83 yo mother-in-law with her medical care.  She has been on opiates for over 25 years due to broken hips after a fall.  After several trips to the hospital a couple years ago for fecal dis-impaction, I began a desperate search for something that could help.  This medicine had just come out about 8 months earlier. I only wish someone had told me about it sooner.  It has been a life-saver for her.  Within about 15 minutes of her first shot, she had a huge bowel movement.  She's been taking it every other day for almost 2 years, and in that time, has had less than a handful of times when it didn't work.  This has truly been a blessing for us."
