Preventing Constipation While on Opioids in Palliative Care [English] Permalink Public
Opioids (sometimes called narcotics) are used to treat pain and shortness of breath in people who are receiving palliative care for a life-limiting illness. Opioids slow the movement of your bowels. This often causes constipation. Constipation can be prevented and managed by using laxatives regularly. (English) Colour
