Constipation affects up to 48 percent of all patients receiving palliative care and up to 87 percent of patients receiving palliative care who also are taking opioids. Knowledge of safe and effective treatment of constipation with avoidance of adverse effects from palliative treatments is essential for the healthcare provider in symptom palliation.

Join us as Dr. Ashley Nichols presents To Poop or Not to Poop: A Multi-Sensory experience to Constipation Management. This is sure to be a new experience in learning about underlying causes that contribute to constipation and how to choose the best constipation treatment based on mechanism of action, formulation, taste, cost or contraindications.
