I started movichol last cycle as well as coloxyl 120 x 2 twice daily and it sorted the constipation completely. In fact dropped the coloxyl and just stuck with the drink. I've been advised to start it day before treatment. I think the anti nausea stuff makes it worse but better than feeling sick. And you can buy a generic version at the chemist too.
Re tramadol....this drug can have interactions with other medication and ondasetron I believe is one of them. Might pay to ask the chemo nurse to check for you or the pharmacist. ..there is a condition called seretonin syndrome which causes all sorts of weird symptons. Both endone and tramadol cause constipation but if you need pain relief...just take the movichol and it should be good.
Hope next round is less traumatic. Knowledge is power. Kath
