Resotran How to Take

Resotran (Prucalopride) belongs to the class of medications called prokinetic agents. Resotran (Prucalopride) is used by women experiencing chronic (long-term) Constipation that is not caused by medications or another medical condition. Resotran (Prucalopride) is used after other laxatives have been tried and have not provided enough relief from the constipation.

Resotran (Prucalopride) works by increasing peristalsis (the rhythmic, wave-like muscle contractions needed for bowel movements) in the digestive system, thereby increasing the number of bowel movements.

Your doctor may have suggested Resotran (Prucalopride) for conditions other than those listed in these drug information articles. If you have not discussed this with your doctor or are not sure why you are taking Resotran (Prucalopride), speak to your doctor. Do not stop taking Resotran (Prucalopride) without consulting your doctor.

Do not give Resotran (Prucalopride) to anyone else, even if they have the same symptoms as you do. It can be harmful for people to take Resotran (Prucalopride) if their doctor has not prescribed it.
