Abstract

Constipation is very common and can be caused by adverse drug reactions as a result of many drugs. While the adverse effects of several medications such as opioids and anticholinergic agents are well established and well known, other commonly prescribed drugs, such as hypnotics, are less well understood. This review presents the results of an analysis of the relationship between constipation and drugs.
