Information
Resolor, known generically as prucalopride, is a medication primarily used to treat chronic idiopathic constipation in adults. It functions as a selective serotonin type 4 (5-HT4) receptor agonist, which means it works by activating these receptors in the gut, thereby enhancing bowel motility and facilitating bowel movements. Unlike many traditional laxatives that stimulate bowel movements by irritating the bowel lining, Resolor works through a mechanism that mimics the natural processes of the body, making it a targeted option for those suffering from constipation without a known cause. It is typically prescribed when other treatments have not been effective, and it is available in tablet form to be taken orally, usually once a day.
