What does it do?

Prucalopride succinate is a selective 5-HT4 receptor agonist used to improve intestinal movement in patients with chronic constipation. This ingredient acts on the nervous system of the gastrointestinal tract, activating peristalsis.

Prucalopride succinate binds to the 5-HT4 receptors in the intestines, enhancing neural signaling. This promotes the contraction of intestinal muscles, helping food pass quickly through the intestines.
