It's maddening.

Prescription opiate use has gotten so bad that Big Pharma is now heavily advertising an anti-constipation pill for all these addicts, with the most ridiculous commercial I've ever seen: a woman walks around town with her opioid "bff" that happens to have muscles.

Seriously, if this alone doesn't spell doom for your country and its health care system, I'm not sure what does.

What is the name of this anti-constipation drug and do you have a link to the commercial?

I'm guessing it's Relistor? It was recently approved for constipation caused by opioids.

To be honest, opioid constipation is a huge problem. It's a great drug to have.

I think for chronic constipation, you can also use this Digestic by Mimonis which is very good in treating constipation problem. I have been save from my long battle of constipation that is why I can say it has been proven by mine to be effective.

Definitely not doubting that. I just hate to see solutions that treat the effect and not the cause. So. Many. Commercials.
