What is Relistor?

Relistor is a medication prescribed to adults who have constipation caused by taking opioid pain medicines. It comes in two different forms, tablets or as a liquid for injection.

  • Relistor tablets are used to treat constipation caused by opioids taken to treat long-lasting (chronic) pain that’s not caused by active cancer
  • Relistor for injection is used to treat constipation caused by opioids taken to treat chronic pain that’s not caused by active cancer, and pain caused by cancer in people who need to increase their opioid dose

If you’re using an opioid medication, your doctor may prescribe Relistor to you. It’s a medication that stops opioids from binding to and affecting your bowels, helping you to have more frequent and easier bowel movements. Relistor is taken either as a tablet or a liquid that’s injected under your skin (subcutaneous injection) using either a regular syringe or a pre-filled, single-use syringe.

Relistor active ingredients

The active ingredient in Relistor is called methylnaltrexone. It helps to relieve opioid-induced constipation without affecting the pain-killing effects of opioids.

Opioid medications cause constipation by attaching to the surface of cells in your bowels at locations called opioid receptors. This stimulates the receptors and causes the changes in your bowels that result in constipation.

When you take Relistor, the methylnaltrexone it contains attaches to the opioid receptors in your bowels instead. This blocks the opioids from binding with the opioid receptors, stopping them from affecting your bowels.

Relistor side effects & Relistor drug interactions

The most common Relistor side effects include:

  • Headaches
  • A runny nose
  • Chills
  • Stomach pain
  • Swelling, pressure, and/or a feeling of fullness in your stomach
  • Gas
  • Diarrhea
  • Feeling sick (nausea)
  • Dizziness
  • Sweating
  • Muscle spasms
  • Anxiety

In rare instances, Relistor can cause more serious side effects, including:

  • Severe allergic reactions to the medication
  • Tears (perforations) in the wall of your stomach or intestines
  • Severe diarrhea that can be long-lasting
  • Opioid withdrawal symptoms, including sweating, chills, stomach pain, diarrhea, irritability, and anxiety

Relistor can interact with any other treatments for constipation, or any other pain medications that you’re taking that aren’t opioids. If you’re unsure if you’re taking any of these, take the packaging of all your medications and supplements to your doctor or pharmacist.
