This multispecialty, interactive moderated discussion will explore the past and present treatment of OIC, current challenges with treatment in clinical practice, and how to help address the needs of patients with OIC. Additional topics include management of patients’ symptoms, when to move from over-the counter (OTC) laxatives to peripherally-acting mu-opioid receptor antagonists (PAMORAs), and considerations and outcomes of therapy.
