Bowel dysfunction

Magnesium-containing products may produce a laxative effect and may cause diarrhea aluminum- or calcium-containing antacids may cause constipation magnesium-containing antacids are used to avoid bowel dysfunction. 

OBD comprises a constellation of GI symptoms including OIC, incomplete evacuation, inhibition of gut peristalsis, bloating, pain, nausea/ vomiting, and increased gastric reflux and tone of intestinal sphincters [3]. Approximately 40% of patients taking chronic opioids for nonmalig-nant pain develop bowel dysfunction [25].

Constipation may be caused by slow intestinal transition, pelvic floor dysfunction, bowel dysfunction like irritable Bowel syndrome and tumours, but can also be secondary to other diseases and life conditions. Many medicines cause constipation, for example opiates, calcium channel blockers and drugs with anticholinergic effects, e.g. antidepressants. 

The standard pharmacokinetic parameters of the compound such as a half-life or bioavailability cannot be reliably calculated, because the concentrations in plasma are below lOpg/mL. As analogously expected from the results on the shift in keto-alcohol equilibrium of 16,16-difluoro-PGE2, it is rapidly metabolized by C-15 reduction mediated by the ubiquitously expressed carbonyl reductase. The metabolism followed by jS-oxidation and co-oxidation forms a mixture of a and fi epimers at the 15-hydroxy moiety as a sole measurable metabolite [46], In 2006, the US Food and Drug Administration approved the drug application for an oral treatment of chronic idiopathic constipation in adults, estimating that 4-5 million Americans are affected. Lubiprostone has also completed a phase II trial in constipation-predominant irritable bowel syndrome, and has been further evaluated for other bowel dysfunctions.
