Sintesi

Eluxadoline is a mu-opioid agonist used for diarrhea-predominant IBS and can cause severe constipation and pancreatitis-related events. Adding buprenorphine, which also slows gut transit, increases the risk of serious constipation and related complications.

Cosa significa questa interazione in parole semplici

Buprenorphine and Eluxadoline can interact in a way that may be serious. Using them together is sometimes necessary, but it needs a deliberate decision by the prescriber, a plan for monitoring, and clear advice on the warning signs to watch for.

Buprenorphine belongs to Musculoskeletal; Eluxadoline belongs to Gastrointestinal Tract.

Livello di evidenza: Moderate

Perché avviene

Cosa fare
