Does a butrans patch slow gastric emptying like taking a narcotic pain med would?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: All opioids can cause constipation and slow down the digestive tract. Some people more sensitive and some opioids more likely than others. Simple measures can often be used to overcome this side effect. Talk to your prescriber.
