Uses of PRUCOLPRIDE 2

Treating Chronic Idiopathic Constipation

PRUCOLPRIDE 2 is primarily prescribed for the treatment of chronic idiopathic constipation in adults. This condition is defined by persistent constipation with no identifiable cause. Patients with CIC often experience fewer than three bowel movements per week, straining, and a sensation of incomplete evacuation. Prucalopride works by enhancing the motility of the gastrointestinal tract, promoting regular bowel movements and alleviating these symptoms.

Improving Quality of Life

By effectively treating chronic idiopathic constipation, PRUCOLPRIDE 2 can significantly improve the quality of life for affected individuals. Regular bowel movements reduce discomfort, abdominal pain, and bloating, leading to a more comfortable and active lifestyle.

Dosage and Administration

Standard Dosage

The recommended dose of PRUCOLPRIDE 2 for adults is 2 mg once daily. It can be taken with or without food, and it is best to take it at the same time each day to maintain consistent levels of the medication in your body.

Adjustments and Considerations

• Elderly Patients: For elderly patients, particularly those over 65 years of age, the starting dose is often 1 mg once daily. Depending on the individual's response and tolerance, the dose may be increased to 2 mg.
• Renal Impairment: Patients with severe renal impairment (creatinine clearance less than 30 ml/min) should start with a dose of 1 mg once daily. PRUCOLPRIDE 2 is not recommended for patients with end-stage renal disease requiring dialysis.
• Hepatic Impairment: No dosage adjustment is necessary for patients with mild to moderate hepatic impairment. However, caution is advised for patients with severe hepatic impairment.

Missed Dose

If you miss a dose of PRUCOLPRIDE 2, take it as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and resume your regular dosing schedule. Do not take two doses at the same time to make up for a missed dose.
