Medicine Description conistova 2mg
Conistova 2mg tablets is a medication that contains Prucalopride, a selective serotonin receptor agonist. It primarily acts on the 5-HT4 receptors in the gastrointestinal tract to enhance colonic motility. By stimulating these receptors, Prucalopride promotes the peristaltic reflex, which increases the movement of the intestine and facilitates the passage of stool. This action effectively helps to alleviate the symptoms of chronic constipation by restoring normal bowel function. Unlike other laxatives, Prucalopride works by enhancing the natural digestive process rather than merely softening stools or increasing fluid content, making it a targeted therapy for those who do not find relief from conventional laxatives.
