Prucalopride Tablet contains prucalopride (1 mg) and its effects on the body are as follows:

• Selective 5-HT4 receptor activation: Prucalopride acts as a selective high-affinity agonist for 5-HT4 receptors. These receptors are found in your gut and play a crucial role in controlling bowel movements.

• Enhancement of peristaltic reflex: By triggering the 5-HT4 receptors, prucalopride amplifies the peristaltic reflex, which is responsible for pushing food through your digestive tract.

• Increased intestinal secretion: Prucalopride also enhances intestinal secretion, further aiding in digestion and bowel function.

• Overall improvement in bowel function: This medicine's overall effect results in more frequent spontaneous bowel movements, providing relief from chronic constipation symptoms.

• Never expose the product to extreme light, heat, or cold.

• Store this medicine in a location unreachable for children and pets.

• Always check the expiry date on the package before taking a tablet.

• Stay well-hydrated: Chronic constipation can sometimes be eased by drinking plenty of fluids. This can help soften your stools, making them easier to pass.

• Consume a high-fibre diet: A diet rich in fibre can aid bowel movement. Include whole grains, fruits, vegetables, and legumes in your daily meals. Remember to consult your doctor before making any significant changes to your diet or lifestyle.
