>A question for you ed , do you know a med to help with the severe constipation ? Not a laxative but a real med like the motilium or another one who work has an agonist as the 5Ht4 receptor with no cardiovascular effect ? Thanks, Vincent
A med we have in Europe is prucalopride, but it is rarely used. It is a 5-HT4 agonist with improved cardiovascular safety compared with related drugs. At the moment, it is only approved for use in women, because most of the patients in clinical trials were women. There is no evidence that prucalopride is superior to laxatives.
