Opioid drugs are known to inhibit gastric emptying and peristalsis in the GI tract which results in delayed absorption of medications and increased absorption of fluid. The lack of fluid in the intestine leads to hardening of stool and constipation. Most patients with OIC complain of straining and incomplete emptying of the rectum during defecation. Opioids also increase anal sphincter tone impairing the defecation reflex. Anal sphincter dysfunction is important to note in patients experiencing anal blockage. Moreover, opioids have been found to decrease emptying of pancreatic juice and bile leading to delayed digestion. Opioid-induced constipation (OIC) accounts for more than 40% to 60% of noncancerous patients receiving opioids.
