This injectable drug is a narcotic antagonist...it blocks the effects of opiates on the bowel without lowering your pain
relief that occurs in the brain.

Gastroparesis is not an obstruction per se. Obstructions are like tumors, or severe adhesions, causing narrowing of the colon.

You can only get this drug from a doctor, so your doctor will have to decide if it is right for you.
