FDA Approves Constipation Drug PEGylated Naloxol
FDA has approved AstraZeneca’s Movantik for opioid-induced constipation in adults with chronic non-cancer pain. Movantik (naloxegol), an oral once-a-day treatment originally developed by Nektar Therapeutics, can decrease the constipating effects of opioids. The drug’s safety and effectiveness were established in two clinical trials. Naloxegol is PEGylated naloxol, which is a peripherally-selective opioid antagonist. It is […]
