Prucolpride 2 Tablet 10 contains prucalopride (2 mg), which works on the body as follows:

• Selective 5-HT4 receptor agonist: Prucalopride stimulates the 5-HT4 receptors in the gastrointestinal tract. These receptors play a significant role in controlling gut movement.

• Enhances acetylcholine release: By stimulating these receptors, prucalopride indirectly enhances the release of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter that regulates gut motility.

• Promotes peristalsis: The increased release of acetylcholine promotes peristalsis, which involves the contraction and relaxation of intestinal muscles, propelling the contents of the gut forward. This action accelerates gastrointestinal transit and facilitates bowel movements.
