Alvimopan is a peripherally acting mu-opioid receptor antagonist (PAMORA) used to accelerate the time to gastrointestinal recovery following surgeries that include partial bowel resection with primary anastomosis. It works by blocking the opioid receptors in the gastrointestinal tract, thereby preventing the opioid-induced delay in gastric emptying and constipation without affecting analgesia. Alvimopan is administered orally and is indicated for short-term hospital use only.
