Presmovac 2mg Tab

PRESMOVAC 2MG TABLET

PRESMOVAC 2MG TABLET, manufactured by Torrent Pharmaceuticals Ltd., is a medication primarily used for the treatment of chronic constipation in adults. It is particularly prescribed when other laxatives have not provided adequate relief.

• Composition

  • Active Ingredient: Each tablet contains Prucalopride 2 mg.
  • Mechanism of Action: Prucalopride is a selective 5-HT4 receptor agonist that works by stimulating serotonin receptors in the gastrointestinal tract. This enhances gut motility, promoting bowel movements and facilitating the passage of stools.

• Uses

  • Chronic Constipation: Effective in managing long-standing constipation, especially when conventional laxatives are insufficient.
  • Gastroparesis: Beneficial in conditions like gastroparesis, where there is reduced gut movement leading to delayed stomach emptying and constipation.
  • Bowel Regularity: Helps to improve gut motility and restore normal bowel function.
  • Pre-procedure Bowel Preparation: Can be a useful aid in bowel preparation before medical procedures like colonoscopies.

• Dosage and Administration

  • Adults: The usual recommended dose is 2 mg once daily, taken orally with or without food.
  • Special Populations: For elderly patients or those with severe renal issues, the starting dose may be reduced to 1 mg.
  • Administration: It can be taken at any time of the day. Do not chew, crush, or break the tablet.
  • Pediatric Use: Not recommended for use in children under 18 years of age as safety and efficacy have not been established.

• Side Effects

  • Common: Headache, nausea, diarrhea, abdominal pain, decreased appetite, dizziness, indigestion (dyspepsia), and vomiting. Most of these side effects are temporary and typically resolve with time.
  • Important Note: Diarrhea may occur; it is crucial to stay adequately hydrated by consuming plenty of water.

• Precautions

  • Contraindications: Avoid if allergic to prucalopride, or if you have intestinal perforation or obstruction, severe inflammatory bowel diseases (e.g., Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis), or are undergoing renal dialysis.
  • Specific Conditions: Use with caution in patients with severe kidney or liver problems, heart disease, lung disease, neurological or psychiatric disorders, cancer, AIDS, or bleeding ulcers of the stomach.
  • Pregnancy & Breastfeeding: Not recommended during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
  • Alcohol: It is advisable to avoid alcohol consumption while taking this medication.
  • Driving: May cause dizziness or tiredness; avoid driving or operating machinery if affected.
  • Monitoring: Consult your doctor if your constipation does not improve after four weeks of treatment.

• Storage

  • Store in a cool and dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture.
  • Keep out of reach of children and pets.
  • Store below 30°C or between 10°C to 25°C.
