Indications - Prucalopride is indicated for symptomatic treatment of chronic constipation in adults in whom laxatives fail to provide adequate relief.
Dosage & Administration - Adults: 2 mg once daily with or without food, at any time of the day. Due to the specific mode of action of prucalopride (stimulation of propulsive motility), exceeding the daily dose of 2 mg is not expected to increase efficacy. Older people: Start with 1 mg once daily; if needed the dose can be increased to 2 mg once daily. Children: Prucalopride should not be used in children and adolescents younger than 18 years
Side Effects - The most frequently reported adverse reactions associated with Prucalopride therapy are headache (17.8%) and gastrointestinal symptoms (abdominal pain), nausea and diarrhoea. The adverse reactions occur predominantly at the start of therapy and usually disappear within a few days with continued treatment. Other adverse reactions have been reported occasionally. The majority of adverse events were mild to moderate in intensity.
Contraindications - Prucalopride is contraindicated in those people who are hypersensitive to the active substance or to any of the excipients and people with renal impairment requiring dialysis.
Others - Pregnancy & Lactation Prucalopride is not recommended during pregnancy and women of childbearing potential should use effective contraception during treatment. Animal studies do not indicate direct or indirect harmful effects with respect to pregnancy, embryonal/fetal development, parturition, or postnatal development. In the absence of human data, it is not recommended to use Prucalopride during breastfeeding
