What is Movantik?
Many adults who suffer from chronic pain are prescribed opioids for relief. Movantik (naloxegol) may subsequently be prescribed to relieve constipation caused by the opioid medications. The belly pain and cramping caused by chronic constipation is not only difficult to live with, but can also lead to potentially dangerous intestinal blockages.
Movantik, when taken orally at least two hours after the most recent meal, is effective in relieving chronic constipation. It is often prescribed concurrently with an opioid painkiller to help prevent opioid-related constipation from becoming a problem.
What Does Simplefill Provide?
Simplefill understands how important it is for people taking opioid painkillers regularly to have a reliable supply of the Movantik. Many people—uninsured, underinsured, or financially strapped—find it difficult or downright impossible to pay for their Movantik prescription.
Simplefill makes connections between people who need help paying for their Movantik and the programs offering that help. We do the heavy lifting to get you prescription assistance, while you focus on managing your pain.
How does Movantik Work?
Long-term opioid use is known to cause chronic constipation. It does this by slowing key functions of the gastrointestinal system, increasing the transit time of contents, and abnormally strengthening the smooth muscle in the GI tract. Waste remains in the intestines long enough for the body’s tissues to reabsorb the water from it, hardening it and making it very difficult to eliminate.
Movantik is an opioid receptor antagonist, which means that it inhibits opioid molecules from binding to opioid receptors—specifically, the opioid receptors in the gut. When opioid action in the GI tract is blocked, contents move through without the excessive fluid reabsorption that occurs in opioid-related chronic constipation.
