To address this side effect, the oral peripheral \u03bc opioid receptor antagonist naldemedine was developed. As this drug does not cross the blood\u2013brain barrier, it is thought that it does not lead to opioid withdrawal syndrome (OWS) with central nervous system symptoms.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"S147895152200044X_sec_a2\" sec-type=\"methods\"><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>Here, we report a cancer patient who presented with symptoms centered round anxiety and irritation 4 months after administration of naldemedine for OIC and who was diagnosed with OWS after close investigation.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"S147895152200044X_sec_a3\" sec-type=\"results\"><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>The patient was a 65-year-old female who had surgery for stage IB endometrial cancer 4 years previously, but experienced recurrence involving the pelvis 2 years later.
