Entereg Warnings

This medication comes with important safety warnings and contraindications to ensure patient well-being. Please read the following information carefully and discuss any concerns with your healthcare provider.

  • Risk of Heart Attack: Use of Alvimopan (Entereg) over an extended period (more than one month) may increase the risk of a heart attack. However, as Alvimopan (Entereg) is typically prescribed for a maximum of one week during hospitalization, the likelihood of this risk is minimal when taken as directed.

  • Stomach Upset: Alvimopan (Entereg) can cause side effects such as stomach pain, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea, particularly in individuals who have recently used opioid pain medications. Do not take this medication if you have used opioids continuously for more than seven days prior to surgery.

  • Liver or Kidney Disease: Individuals with severe liver problems should avoid Alvimopan (Entereg) as the liver metabolizes the drug, and accumulation could lead to increased side effects.

  • Certain Stomach Conditions: Alvimopan (Entereg) is not advised for individuals with intestinal blockages or those recovering from surgeries to correct such blockages. Additionally, it should not be used by those who have undergone specific surgical procedures on the pancreas or stomach, due to the lack of safety data in these populations.

Contraindications:

  • Do not use this medication if you have been taking opioid medications consistently for more than seven days leading up to surgery, as it may pose significant health risks.

Always consult with your healthcare provider to ensure this medication is appropriate for your condition, and to discuss any potential risks associated with its use.

Entereg Side Effects

When taking this medication, some individuals may experience side effects. Among the more common effects is indigestion, affecting about 2% of users. This is typically mild, but if it continues or causes concern, it is advisable to seek guidance from your healthcare provider.

In addition to common side effects, there have been reports of other reactions. Among these, the occurrence of a heart attack is a significant and serious side effect. Symptoms to watch for include chest pain or pressure, cold sweat, lightheadedness, and discomfort that radiates to areas such as the shoulder, arm, back, neck, jaw, teeth, or even the upper abdomen. If you experience these symptoms, it is crucial to seek immediate medical attention.

While serious side effects are not frequently documented, it is important to remain vigilant and contact your healthcare provider with any concerns regarding your health while taking this medication.

Entereg FAQs
What is ENTEREG used for?

ENTEREG is used to help restore bowel function in patients who have undergone bowel resection surgery. It is specifically indicated to accelerate the time to upper and lower gastrointestinal recovery following partial large or small bowel resection surgery with primary anastomosis.

As of the latest information available, Entereg (alvimopan) has not been discontinued. It is still available for use, primarily in hospitals, to help patients recover bowel function after certain types of surgery.

The cost of ENTEREG can vary depending on factors such as the pharmacy, location, and whether the patient has insurance coverage. It is recommended to check with local pharmacies or healthcare providers for the most accurate and up-to-date pricing information. Additionally, insurance plans may cover part of the cost, so contacting the insurance provider for details on coverage and copayments is advisable.

Alvimopan and methylnaltrexone are both medications used to address opioid-induced side effects, but they have different indications and mechanisms of action. Alvimopan is primarily used to accelerate the recovery of bowel function after bowel resection surgery, while methylnaltrexone is used to treat opioid-induced constipation in patients with chronic pain who are receiving palliative care. Both drugs work as peripherally acting mu-opioid receptor antagonists, but methylnaltrexone is specifically designed to not cross the blood-brain barrier, minimizing effects on central opioid receptors.

The cost of Entereg can vary depending on factors such as the pharmacy, location, and whether the patient has insurance coverage. It is recommended to check with local pharmacies for the most accurate and up-to-date pricing. Additionally, patients may want to consult with their healthcare provider or insurance company to understand coverage options and potential out-of-pocket costs.
