Selective serotonin 5-HT4 receptor agonist stimulating colonic peristalsis and accelerating GI transit. High selectivity reduces cardiac risks.
Used for chronic constipation, megacolon. Limited veterinary data. Diarrhea if dose too high. Fewer cardiac effects than cisapride due to 5-HT4 selectivity.
Species-specific contraindications and adverse-reaction reports for rabbit may differ from canine / feline reference data — consult the primary citations listed with each rule.
Why a species-specific page? Prucalopride pharmacokinetics differ across species: dose ranges, intervals, and route preferences are not interchangeable. Cross-extrapolation from canine doses is unsafe in rabbit — the rules above are the citations specific to this species, not generic recommendations.
