Naloxegol is a medication used to treat opioid-induced constipation. It works by acting as a peripherally acting mu-opioid receptor antagonist, which means it blocks the effects of opioids on the gut without affecting their pain-relieving properties in the central nervous system. This action helps restore normal bowel function in individuals taking opioid medications.
