Uses

Treatment of Constipation

Benefits

In Digestive problems: Pruwel relieves the digestive symptom it was prescribed for, whether that is loose motions, cramps, bloating or an unsettled stomach.
In Loose motions: Pruwel slows the gut or restores its balance, so stools become formed again and the urgency and cramping settle.
In Restoring gut bacteria: Pruwel replaces the helpful bacteria the gut loses during diarrhoea or a course of antibiotics, helping digestion settle sooner.
In Stomach protection: Pruwel coats and protects the stomach lining from acid and irritant medicines, easing pain and allowing the lining to heal.

Side effects

Most side effects of Pruwel are mild and settle as the body gets used to the medicine. The ones reported most often are:

Bloating
Flatulence
Stomach discomfort
Constipation

Stop the medicine and get help at once for a rash, swelling of the face or lips, wheezing or difficulty breathing. Tell your doctor about any side effect that persists or worries you.

How to use

Take this medicine in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Swallow it as a whole. Do not chew, crush or break it. Pruwel 1 Tablet may be taken with or without food.

How it works

Pruwel 1 Tablet is a selective 5-HT4 receptor agonist that has high intrinsic activity. It indirectly stimulates the release of acetylcholine, a chemical messenger that increases the motility of the intestine and treats even chronic (long-term) constipation very effectively.

KidneyCAUTION: Use with caution if you have kidney disease. Your doctor may adjust the dose or monitor your kidney function.

Warnings & precautions

Loose motions with high fever, blood in the stool or severe abdominal pain need a doctor, not a home remedy. Oral rehydration salts and fluids matter more than any medicine when you have loose motions — dehydration is the real danger, especially in children and older people. Take a probiotic a couple of hours apart from an antibiotic so the antibiotic does not simply kill it. Do not use an anti-motility medicine such as loperamide if you have a fever or blood in the stool.
