Methylnaltrexone Bromide – Uses, Dosage, Side Effects, Interaction

Methylnaltrexone Bromide - Uses, Dosage, Side Effects, Interaction

Methylnaltrexone is a methyl derivative of noroxymorphone with selective, opioid-receptor antagonistic activity. Methylnaltrexone is a member of phenanthrenes. Methylnaltrexone displaces opioids from peripheral opioid receptors in the gastrointestinal tract, the bladder, and the skin, resulting in decreases in opioid-related constipation, urinary retention, and pruritis, respectively. Methylnaltrexone does not cross the blood-brain barrier and does not affect the centrally-mediated analgesic effect of opioids.

Indications

  • Treatment of opioid-induced constipation in advanced-illness patients who are receiving palliative care when the response to usual laxative therapy has not been sufficient.
  • For the treatment of opioid-induced constipation in adult patients with chronic non-cancer pain or advanced illness who are receiving palliative care, when the response to laxative therapy has not been sufficient.

Use in Cancer

Methylnaltrexone bromide is approved to treat:

  • Constipation is caused by the use of opioids. It is used in adults with pain caused by cancer or treatment for cancer or by another advanced disease.

Drug Interactions

Pregnancy and Lactation

AU TGA pregnancy category: B1
US FDA pregnancy category: C

Pregnancy

The limited available data with RELISTOR in pregnant women are not sufficient to inform a drug-associated risk for major birth defects and miscarriages. There are clinical considerations when RELISTOR is used by pregnant women. In animal reproduction studies, no effects on embryofetal development were observed with the administration of intravenous methylnaltrexone bromide during organogenesis in rats and rabbits at doses up to 20 times and 26 times, respectively, the subcutaneous maximum recommended human dose (MRHD) of 12 mg RELISTOR injection per day. The intravenous doses in rats and rabbits are about 0.5 times and 0.7 times, respectively, an oral MRHD of 450 mg/day. Advise pregnant women of the potential risk to a fetus. The estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated population is unknown. In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2 to 4% and 15 to 20%, respectively.

Lactation

No information is available on the use of methylnaltrexone during breastfeeding. The manufacturer recommends against breastfeeding in mothers taking methylnaltrexone. Based on pharmacokinetic data, the oral absorption of methylnaltrexone appears to be very low. Observe breastfed infants who have been exposed to opioids during pregnancy or postpartum for signs of opioid withdrawal, especially diarrhea.

How should this medicine be used?

Methylnaltrexone comes as a tablet to take by mouth. It is usually taken once a day with water, at least 30 minutes before the first meal of the day. Take methylnaltrexone at around the same time every day. Follow the directions on your prescription label carefully, and ask your doctor or pharmacist to explain any part you do not understand. Take methylnaltrexone exactly as directed. Do not take more or less of it or take it more often than prescribed by your doctor.

Methylnaltrexone is to be taken by people who are taking opioid (narcotic) medications. Talk to your doctor if you change how much or how often you take your opioid medication. If you stop taking opioid medications, you should stop taking methylnaltrexone as well.

You should stop taking other laxative medications when you start taking methylnaltrexone. However, be sure to let your doctor know if methylnaltrexone does not work for you after taking it for 3 days. Your doctor may tell you to take other laxative medication(s).

Your doctor or pharmacist will give you the manufacturer’s patient information sheet (Medication Guide) when you begin treatment with methylnaltrexone and each time you refill your prescription. Read the information carefully and ask your doctor or pharmacist if you have any questions. You can also visit the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) website (http://www.fda.gov/Drugs/DrugSafety/ucm085729.htm) to obtain the Medication Guide.

Other uses for this medicine

This medication may be prescribed for other uses; ask your doctor or pharmacist for more information.

What special precautions should I follow?

Before taking methylnaltrexone,

  • tell your doctor and pharmacist if you are allergic to methylnaltrexone, any other medications, or any of the ingredients in methylnaltrexone tablets. Ask your pharmacist or check the Medication Guide for a list of the ingredients.
  • tell your doctor and pharmacist what prescription and nonprescription medications, vitamins, nutritional supplements, and herbal products you are taking or plan to take. Be sure to mention any of the following: alvimopan (Entereg), naldemedine (Symproic), naloxegol (Movantik), naloxone (Evzio, Narcan, in Bunavail, Suboxone, Zubsolv), or naltrexone (Vivitrol, in Contrave, Embeda). Your doctor may need to change the doses of your medications or monitor you carefully for side effects.
  • tell your doctor if you have or have ever had a gastrointestinal obstruction (a blockage in your bowel). Your doctor will probably tell you not to take methylnaltrexone.
  • tell your doctor if you have or have ever had stomach or bowel problems including stomach ulcer (sores in the lining of the stomach), cancer of the stomach or bowel, Crohn’s disease (a condition in which the body attacks the lining of the digestive tract, causing pain, diarrhea, weight loss, and fever), diverticulitis (small pouches in the lining of the large intestine that can become inflamed), Ogilvie’s syndrome (a condition in which there is a bulge in the bowel), or kidney or liver disease.
  • tell your doctor if you are pregnant or plan to become pregnant. If you become pregnant while taking methylnaltrexone, call your doctor. If you take methylnaltrexone during your pregnancy, your baby may experience opioid withdrawal symptoms.
  • tell your doctor if you are breastfeeding. Do not breastfeed while you are taking methylnaltrexone.
  • you should know that most people have a bowel movement within a few minutes to a few hours after taking methylnaltrexone. Make sure that you are close to a bathroom when you take this medication.

Frequently Asked Questions

Mechanism of action Methylnaltrexone is a peripherally-acting μ-opioid antagonist that acts on the gastrointestinal tract and inhibits an opioid-induced decrease in gastric motility and transit time. Because methylnaltrexone is a quaternary derivative of naltrexone, it produces its gastrointestinal effects without producing analgesic effects or withdrawal symptoms as it does not cross the blood-brain barrier.Use of opioids induces slowing of gastrointestinal motility and transit. Following remifentanil administration, the methylnaltrexone and placebo groups showed no change in pupillary constriction while the naloxone group showed a marked change over the time interval tested.Methylnaltrexone is a peripheral-acting mu-opioid receptor antagonist and does not cross the blood-brain barrier.[rx] Methylnaltrexone has restricted access through the blood-brain barrier because it is a quaternary amine, which carries a positive charge when in a solution and more has polarity with lower lipid solubility than a lot of the opioid agonists used for pain treatment.[rx] The peripheral action of methylnaltrexone makes it effective for decreasing the constipating effects of opioids, without interfering with the analgesic effects (of opioids) on the central nervous system.[rx] This is the primary characteristic that makes methylnaltrexone behave differently than naltrexone.[10]Furthermore, as methylnaltrexone cannot cross the blood–brain barrier, it does not reverse the pain-killing properties of opioid agonists or cause withdrawal symptoms, but since a small portion of analgesia comes from the peripheral opioid receptors, it can increase pain from inflammatory conditions such as arthritis.IndicationsTreatment of opioid-induced constipation in advanced-illness patients who are receiving palliative care when the response to usual laxative therapy has not been sufficient.

US FDA pregnancy category: C Pregnancy The limited available data with RELISTOR in pregnant women are not sufficient to inform a drug-associated risk for major birth defects and miscarriages. There are clinical considerations when RELISTOR is used by pregnant women. In animal reproduction studies, no effects on embryofetal development were observed with the administration of intravenous methylnaltrexone bromide during organogenesis in rats and rabbits at doses up to 20 times and 26 times, respectively, the subcutaneous maximum recommended human dose (MRHD) of 12 mg RELISTOR injection per day. The intravenous doses in rats and rabbits are about 0.5 times and 0.7 times, respectively, an oral MRHD of 450 mg/day. Advise pregnant women of the potential risk to a fetus. The estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated population is unknown. In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2 to 4% and 15 to 20%, respectively. Lactation No information is available on the use of methylnaltrexone during breastfeeding. The manufacturer recommends against breastfeeding in mothers taking methylnaltrexone. Based on pharmacokinetic data, the oral absorption of methylnaltrexone appears to be very low. Observe breastfed infants who have been exposed to opioids during pregnancy or postpartum for signs of opioid withdrawal, especially diarrhea.How should this medicine be used?

Methylnaltrexone comes as a tablet to take by mouth. It is usually taken once a day with water, at least 30 minutes before the first meal of the day. Take methylnaltrexone at around the same time every day. Follow the directions on your prescription label carefully, and ask your doctor or pharmacist to explain any part you do not understand. Take methylnaltrexone exactly as directed. Do not take more or less of it or take it more often than prescribed…
