Prucalopride for Chronic Idiopathic Constipation "One Motegrity pill, and had side effect of a horrible headache, and it made my stomach so upset, and one day out still feeling like I'm going to throw up and bloating. Never again. I will no longer be ever taking this pill. I'm so sick from just this one pill."

Prucalopride for Chronic Idiopathic Constipation "I had a free trial (7 pills) from my GI doctor. I'd never afford this because it's $300 without insurance a month. I took a quarter of a pill for several days of constipation and stomach burning. Within 30 min, I had diarrhea with solids. I haven't had loose stools in over a year, and I was actually pleased not to give birth for once. I didn't have worse cramps than I was already having, and I didn't get a headache like others warned. I only weigh 120 lb, and I saw others say they had better success with smaller doses. I can say this medicine works way better than OTC stool softeners I've used if you need an immediate BM."

Prucalopride for Chronic Idiopathic Constipation "I’m looking for personal experiences… Does taking this medication, day 1 hour before the first meal of the day, work better than taking Motegrity with food? I’ve been taking it on an empty stomach in the AM. The good response for me is no belly ache all night long."

For Chronic Idiopathic Constipation "I just started to eat prucalopride because of chronic constipation. I eat this medication with the stomach medication (Dexilant). Now I feel very stomach upset. I have diarrhea after half an hour of eating the medication. Feel a little headache. I don’t know if it’s that side effect of this medication or the stomach medication."
