A peripherally acting mu-opioid receptor antagonist that blocks opioid effects specifically in the gut without crossing into the brain, used to accelerate the recovery of bowel function after bowel surgery. By restoring normal gut motility in patients who receive opioid pain medications after operations, it helps reduce the duration of post-surgical paralytic ileus.

Mecanismo de Ação

Binds to mu (μ), kappa (κ), and/or delta (δ) opioid receptors in the central and peripheral nervous system, mimicking endogenous endorphins. Activation of these G-protein-coupled receptors inhibits pain signal transmission and modulates the emotional response to pain.
