Market Insights:

The mechanism of action of opioid analgesics through binding to the mu, delta, and kappa receptors present in the brain by crossing the blood-brain barrier and giving the desired analgesic effect to treat non-cancer pain. In addition, the opioids bind to the mu receptors present in the gastrointestinal tract, which results in contraction of the smooth muscles and alters the peristaltic movement causing constipation. Usually, the patients opt for over-the-counter osmotic laxatives and stimulant cathartics, which have been beneficial in providing relief from constipation in patients taking opioid analgesics for 3-4 weeks. In patients seeking palliative care, doctors prescribe mu-receptor antagonists and prostaglandin derivatives to cure opioid-induced constipation.

As per the research cited by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (2015), more than 40% of the patients receiving opioid analgesics suffer from constipation and other gastrointestinal complications. Currently, drugs such as osmotic laxatives and stimulant cathartics dominate the market as the patients usually prefer over-the-counter products to get relief from constipation. Physicians usually prescribe OTC laxatives along with opioid analgesics on account of their safety and fewer gastrointestinal complications.

 

Naloxegol will register significant growth during the forecast period from 2018 to 2026 on account of the rising prevalence of non-cancer pain diseases such as osteoarthritis, fibromyalgia, etc. Moreover, enhanced drug efficacy and fewer drug-related adverse events such as diarrhea and bloating in comparison to other mu receptor antagonists (e.g., methylnaltrexone bromide) drive naloxegol’s market demand. Recently naldemedine manufactured by Shionogi, Inc. has received FDA approval for the treatment of OIC and will register excellent growth during the forecast period. The key players pioneering in the opioid-induced constipation drugs market are AstraZeneca, Cubist Pharmaceuticals (Adolor Corporation), Daiichi Sankyo Co. Ltd., Ironwood Pharmaceuticals, Inc., Pfizer, Inc., Progenics Pharmaceuticals, Inc., Salix Pharmaceuticals Ltd., Shionogi & Co Ltd., Sucampo Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and Synergy Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

Moreover, opioid analgesics bind to the mu receptors of the gastrointestinal tract, causing severe contraction of smooth muscles, altering the peristaltic activity of the gut motility, thus leading to chronic constipation. Physicians usually prescribe branded drugs such as methylnaltrexone bromide and naloxegol (mu-receptor antagonists) and prostaglandin derivatives such as lubiprostone to gain immediate relief from constipation by increasing fluid retention and stool softening. Over-the-counter (OTC) osmotic laxatives and stimulant cathartics are the drugs of the first choice by patients to treat constipation. OTC products have shown good results in patients taking opioid analgesics for less than four weeks.
