I would ask your doctor to RX half the dosage which is what i am going to do. If you need to go, this WILL work because I have tried everything and withing 30 minutes this large framed male was running to the bathroom.

I took this medication one time. I got severe stomach pain and explosive diarrhea and severe cold sweats. I felt so bad for most of the day the only time I got out of bed was to run to the bathroom. I hope it works for others but I will never take it again.

I'm disappointed, I was so hoping this RX would help my OIC. Hopefully Movantik will work for others. I have a spinal cord injury,so I'll probably be on pain meds for the rest of my life, which means I'll be taking laxatives for the rest of my life.
