About this product
Overview
Prulevity 1mg Tablet contains the active ingredient Prucalopride. It is a medication primarily used for the management of chronic constipation, especially in adults who have not adequately responded to other laxative treatments. Prucalopride belongs to a class of drugs called selective serotonin-4 (5-HT4) receptor agonists, which work by stimulating gastrointestinal motility and facilitating bowel movements. Prulevity 1mg Tablet helps relieve constipation by promoting the movement of stool through the intestines.

It is particularly beneficial for individuals who experience infrequent bowel movements and have difficulty passing stool.
