Prucalopride 1mg Tablets

Product Introduction

Prucalopride 1mg is an oral selective 5-HT4 receptor agonist used for chronic constipation for prucalopride treatment, especially when lifestyle measures and laxatives have not provided adequate relief. It increases colonic motility by enhancing acetylcholine release in the gut, helping move stool through the intestine and increasing complete spontaneous bowel movements. Response should be judged by stool frequency, straining, bloating, abdominal discomfort, rescue-laxative need, and tolerability. Diarrhea can lead to dehydration in vulnerable patients.

How to use

Take Prucalopride 1mg as prescribed, with or without food. Keep hydration adequate, track bowel response, and do not use it for suspected bowel obstruction or severe unexplained abdominal symptoms.

How it works

Prucalopride selectively stimulates 5-HT4 receptors in the gut, increasing acetylcholine-mediated colonic motility and stool movement.

Common side effects

Possible effects include headache, nausea, diarrhea, abdominal pain, dizziness, vomiting, gas, fatigue, and decreased appetite. Serious concerns include dehydration from severe diarrhea, mood changes, suicidal thoughts, severe abdominal pain, and allergic reaction.

Important information

Review bowel obstruction symptoms, inflammatory bowel disease, unexplained rectal bleeding, severe abdominal pain, kidney disease, liver disease, depression history, suicidal thoughts, pregnancy, breastfeeding, and concurrent constipation medicines.
