Prucalopride, a systemic enterokinetic, for the treatment of constipation

Abstract: SUMMARYBackground: Laxatives are frequently ineffective in treating constipation. An alternative therapeutic approach is to target serotonin-4 receptors, which are involved in initiating peristalsis. Aim: In a double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, to assess the efficacy and safety of a systemically active serotonin-4 agonist, prucalopride. Methods: Seventy-four women with constipation were stratified into slow or normal transit groups, and each group was randomized to receive either placebo or 1 mg prucalopr… Show more

“…The characteristics, salient features and treatment protocols adopted in the included randomized, controlled trials are given in the Table. All trials were adequately randomized using either computer generated sequential pattern or other reliable random pattern methods. These trials varied from phase II 46 to phase III, 51 and were placebo-controlled [43][44][45][46][47][48][49][50][51][52][53][54][55][56][57][58] …”

“…Studi clinici controllati di fase IIa, condotti su gruppi selezionati di pazienti con stipsi funzionale e senza disturbi dell'evacuazione, hanno confermato che prucalopride, alle dosi di 2 e 4 mg, accelera il transito nel colon, aumenta la frequenza delle evacuazioni e riduce la consistenza delle feci [49]. In questi soggetti prucalopride accelera il transito gastrointestinale nei segmenti alti e in quelli bassi, con un effetto non ben definito sulle funzioni anorettali [49][50][51]. La risposta nei pazienti con stipsi è dose-dipendente, è già evidente in alcuni soggetti alla dose di 1 mg/ die, ma generalmente la dose efficace è di 2 mg una volta al giorno [50,51].…”
