I went to Dr on Thursday and since I have dealt with constipation for years, so she asked if I wanted to try it and since I don;t go except between 7-10 days so I agreed to try it! It is given like insulin in the fat, and she gave me sample vials and I was given shot in her office and asked to sit in lobby for 15 minutes. Little did I know that it began to work withing 5 minutes and I had to use their bathroom and I gave birth then and there! I was so embarrised, and I brought home the samples and waited 3 days and used it today with same results! I have trouble all the time and out of all of these meds

I am truly amazed that this did not even get a reply as I have been to hell and back with this problem and here is first drug that actually worked after trying Everything on the market! This also works within 5 minutes and Completely empties your large and small intestine without the nasty diarrhea that goes with most of this type drug, and the injection is painless given in fatty tissue?? If anyone wants to know, the name is Atara! It gave me part of my life back as it is horrible to go through 10 days and still not be able to go, so to me and everyone else that suffers with this terrible thing should be happy???

Hey Junie~ Wow, that sounds almost too good to be true. I have not heard of Atara. I seem to end up mixing Benefiber into water, taking extra fiber~~ you name it, I've tried it. I struggle w/IBS and it's something that I deal with on a daily basis. Do you know how the drug works that fast??

Looks like I may have to do a little checking into this. Thanks for the info.

on the FDA site.

Are you sure of the spelling?

There is an injectable drug for opiate induced constipation called
Relistor. However, I have not seen in the studies that it works in 5minutes..that quickly.

That is because I thought the name on the bag off samples was it, but the name of the drug is Relistor!! So sorry for the confusion, I have no idea what Atara is It has worked within 5 minutes for me every single tine! Now maybe I can start eating real food again, instead of oatmeal and shredded wheat

Hi Junie,
I'm glad you found something to work so well for you. Does it cause cramping
or discomfort since it works so fast? That is rather amazing it works with such speed.
Thanks, Diandra

I suffered from constipation from morphines, read about xenical when it came out, read that a side-effect of it is runny stools, got doc to let me try it-works like a charm, as long as you take it with abit of fatty food!! easy!
