Maintaining regular bowel movements is important for overall health
Ever wondered if ZubSolv can cause constipation? You're not alone. In this episode, Dr Mark Leeds, an experienced osteopathic physician, dives deep into the connection between ZubSolv, a medication used in opioid addiction treatment, and its pesky side effect - constipation. While ZubSolv is a lifesaver for many battling opioid addiction, it can also slow down your digestive system, leading to some uncomfortable bathroom moments.
Dr Leeds explains how ZubSolv works, combining buprenorphine and naloxone to reduce cravings and withdrawal symptoms. However, this combo can also bind to receptors in the gut, causing constipation by slowing digestion and reducing fluid secretion in the intestines. But don't worry, Dr Leeds has you covered with practical tips and natural remedies to keep things moving smoothly.
From upping your fibre intake with fruits and veggies to staying hydrated and incorporating regular exercise, there are plenty of ways to manage this side effect. And if prunes and herbal teas don't do the trick, he discusses over-the-counter options and when to seek medical help. This episode is a must-listen for anyone on ZubSolv or supporting someone through opioid recovery. Tune in for valuable advice on balancing treatment benefits with side effects and maintaining overall health.
