Prucalopride is used to treat chronic constipation when other medications haven’t helped.
It works by improving how your gut moves food through your system.
Dosage and administration
Before taking prucalopride, read the information leaflet from your pharmacist and ask your doctor or pharmacist if you have any questions.
Take prucalopride by mouth, with or without food, as directed by your doctor, usually once a day. The usual dose is 2 milligrams.
Take it regularly at the same time each day to get the most benefit. Tell your doctor if you don’t feel relief after 3 to 4 days.
Your doctor may recommend additional medication for short-term constipation relief. Follow your doctor’s instructions carefully and ask how long to take prucalopride and/or other constipation medications.
Side effects
Prucalopride may cause nausea, stomach pain, diarrhea, headache, dizziness, or tiredness in the first few days. These are usually mild and go away on their own.
Tell your doctor if any side effects are bothersome or do not go away.
Get medical help right away if you experience:
Severe or ongoing stomach pain
Bloody diarrhea or rectal bleeding
Fast or irregular heartbeat
Depression, thoughts of suicide, or other mental mood changes
Allergic reaction symptoms like rash, itching, swelling, dizziness, or trouble breathing.
Precautions
Talk to your doctor before taking prucalopride if you have allergies, diabetes, heart problems, kidney problems, liver disease, mental health issues, or stomach/intestinal issues.
Prucalopride may cause dizziness. Avoid alcohol, marijuana, driving, or machinery until you know how it affects you.
Tell your doctor about all medications you take, including prescriptions, over-the-counter drugs, and herbs, before surgery or dental work.
Pregnant or breastfeeding women should discuss risks and benefits with their doctor before taking prucalopride.
