How Can Opioid Induced Constipation Be Treated?
Hi, My wife had rotator cuff surgery last Thursday and is experiencing some pretty bad OIC. Her Dr s have left for the day so no prescription help until tomorrow. What are some possible OTC or Homeopathic alternatives that may provide relief? Anxiously awaiting your reply, thanks.

Hello,
You can take laxatives like lactulose or prucalopride for symptomatic relief. Homoeopathy does not have any major role in this condition.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
