कब्ज के लिए प्रुकालोप्राइड

About prucalopride

वयस्कों में कब्ज is a common problem. It means either going to the toilet less often than usual to empty the bowels, or passing hard or painful stools when you do go. It can be caused by not eating enough fibre or not drinking enough fluids, or a lack of exercise or movement (such as being ill in bed). It can also be a side-effect of certain medicines (such as some painkillers), or related to an underlying medical condition. In many cases, the cause is not clear.

Prucalopride works on the muscle wall of the bowels. It increases the movement of the bowels, making stools easier to pass. It can be helpful for people for whom constipation remains a problem despite having made changes to lifestyle and diet, and despite having tried a number of different laxatives.

Before taking prucalopride

Some medicines are not suitable for people with certain conditions, and sometimes a medicine may only be used if extra care is taken. For these reasons, before you start taking prucalopride it is important that your doctor knows:

• If you are pregnant, trying for a baby, or breastfeeding.

• If you are so constipated that you think you may have a blockage.

• If you have any other bowel condition (such as Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis or toxic megacolon).

• If you have a heart condition or have been told that you have an unusual heart rhythm.

• यदि आपके जिगर के काम करने के तरीके में या आपके गुर्दों के काम करने के तरीके में कोई समस्या है।.

• यदि आपको कभी किसी दवा से एलर्जी की प्रतिक्रिया हुई है।.

• यदि आप कोई अन्य दवाएं ले रहे हैं। इसमें वे सभी दवाएं शामिल हैं जो आप बिना पर्ची के खरीद सकते हैं, साथ ही हर्बल और पूरक दवाएं भी शामिल हैं।.

How to take prucalopride tablets

• Before you start the treatment, read the manufacturer's printed information leaflet from inside the pack. It will give you more information about prucalopride and will provide you with a full list of the side-effects which you may experience from taking it.

• Take prucalopride tablets exactly as your doctor tells you to. It is usual to be prescribed one (2 mg) tablet to take once daily. You may be given a lower-strength tablet if you are over 65 years old, or if you have any problems with your liver or kidneys.

• Swallow the tablet with a drink of water. You can take the tablet at a time of day to suit you. It is recommended that you take your doses at the same time of day each day, as doing this can help you to remember to take your doses regularly. You can take prucalopride tablets before or after food.

• If you forget to take a dose, take it as soon as you remember. If you do not remember until the following day, leave out the forgotten dose and take the dose that is due. Do not take two tablets at the same time to make up for a missed dose.

• Remember to keep any regular appointments with your doctor. This is so your doctor can check on your progress.

• A healthy diet containing fibre (wholegrain breads and cereals, bran, fruit and green leafy vegetables) with several glasses of water each day and daily exercise are important in maintaining healthy bowel function.

• You can read our leaflet called Fibre and Fibre Supplements for advice on ways to increase the amount of fibre in your diet.

• You should avoid getting pregnant while you are taking prucalopride. Make sure you have discussed with your doctor which types of contraception are suitable for you and your partner.
