What is Movantik?

Movantik is a medication prescribed to adults who have constipation caused by taking opioid painkillers. It’s formulated specifically for adults who take opioids for chronic non-cancer pain.

If your doctor prescribes you an opioid medication, they may also prescribe Movantik at the same time. The medication is designed to stop opioids affecting your bowels and giving you constipation. You take Movantik as a tablet with water.

Movantik active ingredients

The active ingredient in Movantik is called naloxegol. It helps to relieve opioid-induced constipation.

Opioid medications cause constipation by attaching to the surface of cells in your bowels at locations called mu-receptors. This stimulates the mu-receptors, causing reactions in your bowel cells that remove fluid and slow the passage of waste through your bowels. This hardens your stools and makes it harder for your body to expel them.

Movantik helps to counter this. When you take Movantik, the active ingredient naloxegol binds with the mu-receptors instead of the opioids. This blocks the mu-receptors and stops the opioids from stimulating them and affecting your bowels.

Movantik side effects & Movantik drug interactions

If you experience any side effects when taking Movantik, the most common will include:

• Headaches
• Stomach pain
• Gas
• Feeling sick (nausea)
• Being sick (vomiting)

Unfortunately, you may also experience more severe side effects when taking Movantik. These can include:

• Severe allergic reactions to the medication
• Opioid withdrawal symptoms, including sweating, chills, stomach pain, diarrhea, irritability, and anxiety
• Severe stomach pain and/or diarrhea
• Perforations in the wall of your stomach or intestines

If you are currently taking any other medications, it’s important to tell your prescribing physician. These could interact with Movantik which may reduce its effectiveness and make certain side effects more likely.
