What are opioid induced constipation drugs?

Opioid-Induced Constipation (OIC) drugs are prescribed to patients with acute and chronic non-cancer pain. They reduce the secretion of digestive enzymes which results in opioid-induced constipation with several symptoms such as the bulged abdomen, distention, bloating, and painful defecation due to hard and dry stools.

Market Dynamics

The key factor augmenting the market growth is a rising number of senior patients as these patients use opioid analgesics such as hydromorphone, morphine, codeine, etc. as a prescription for chronic non-cancer pain which has severe adverse effects on the digestive system resulting in huge demand for OIC drugs. Moreover, the increasing volume of patient pool with opioid users demands efficient medication for the OIC ailments which is likely to spur the industry growth during the review period.

Regional Trends

The market in North America accounted for the largest share in 2020 and is projected to continue its dominance during the review period. This is mainly ascribed to the increasing prevalence of various GI disorders among geriatric patients in the US and a steep rise in the consumption of opioids in Canada in past few years. Moreover, the presence of established players in the market and funding for R&D activities further bolsters regional growth.
