Are your patients withholding the
impact OIC has on their lives?

A large, multinational survey across 5 European countries of patients
on strong opioids with OIC (N=2016) showed:1

More than

%

of patients expressed feelings of frustration and dependence caused by their OIC1

Another survey conducted in the United States, Canada, Germany, and the United
Kingdom in patients with OIC (N=489) revealed some possible reasons why
patients did not speak with their healthcare provider about their OIC:2
  • Concern about the need to reduce or change their pain medicine
  • Embarrassment
  • They ran out of time to discuss constipation

The dialogue about OIC starts with you

The more you see—and hear—what’s really happening, the better you’ll be
able to help your patients with OIC get the treatment they need.
%
of patients with OIC
can be identified by using a simple diagnostic
tool to ask about their constipation3
OIC, opioid-induced constipation.
Many patients with OIC taking opioids reduce their pain medication as a result of constipation.4
