The global opioid induced constipation drugs market is rising at a significant pace, projected to rise at a CAGR of 4.7% during the estimated period from 2022 to 2030.

The mechanism of action of opioid analgesics through binding to the mu, delta, and kappa receptors present in the brain by crossing the blood-brain barrier and giving the desired analgesic effect to treat non-cancer pain. In addition, the opioids bind to the mu receptors present in the gastrointestinal tract, which result in a contraction of the smooth muscles and alter the peristaltic movement causing constipation.

Usually, the patients opt for over the counter osmotic laxatives and stimulant cathartics, which have been beneficial in providing relief from constipation in patients taking opioid analgesics for 3-4 weeks. In patients seeking palliative care, doctors prescribe mu-receptor antagonists and prostaglandin derivatives to cure opioid induced constipation.

In the present scenario, prescribed drugs are dominating the market on account of an increasing number of patients showing resistance to over-the-counter laxatives and cathartics. Moreover, opioid analgesics binds to the mu receptors of the gastrointestinal tract causing severe contraction of smooth muscles, altering the peristaltic activity of the gut motility, thus leading to chronic constipation.

Physicians usually prescribe branded drugs such as methylnaltrexone bromide and naloxegol (mu-receptor antagonists) and prostaglandin derivatives such as lubiprostone to gain immediate relief from constipation by increasing fluid retention and stool softening. Over the counter (OTC) osmotic laxatives and stimulant cathartics are the drugs of the first choice by the patients to treat constipation. OTC products have shown good results in patients taking opioid analgesics for less than 4 weeks.

In addition, lockdown restrictions and the need to maintain social distancing due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic have resulted in more number of people staying at home. Hence, a sedentary lifestyle has resulted in the development of opioid induced constipation. In addition, irrational intake of OTC drugs and lack of physical activity will further aggravate the occurrence of opioid induced constipation in the elderly population
