So, I am hearing this TV commercial for Movantik https://www.movantikhcp.com/, which is prescribed to relieve opiod induced constipation. Get real guys.
I had surgery in July and was prescribed some pain medications after surgery. I was told to get a stool softener to help with constipation. The friend who drove me home from the hospital, and I talked about stopping at a store to get the stool softener, but we were so busy talking, we forgot to do that. I got home, and thought about it and decided I could use mineral oil, which I kept on hand for the cats, if they had constipation.
So, that is what I used. It worked very well. It did not taste good, but it is simple, inexpensive and easy to use.
Why would anyone want to use an expensive medicine for a common problem, when something simple like mineral oil works. Granted, it does not taste good. But consider the cost/benefit. I will go with mineral oil any time.
