POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
Posology
_Adults_: 2 mg once daily with or without food, at any time of the
day.
Due to the specific mode of action of prucalopride (stimulation of
propulsive motility), exceeding the
daily dose of 2 mg is not expected to increase efficacy.
If the intake of once daily prucalopride is not effective after 4
weeks of treatment, the patient should
be re-examined and the benefit of continuing treatment reconsidered.
The efficacy of prucalopride has been established in double-blind,
placebo-controlled studies for up to
3 months. Efficacy beyond three months has not been demonstrated in
placebo-controlled studies (see
Section 5.1). In case of prolonged treatment, the benefit should be
reassessed at regular intervals.
Special populations
_Older people (>65 years)_: Start with 1 mg once daily (see section
5.2); if needed the dose can be
increased to 2 mg once daily.
_Patients with renal impairment_: The dose for patients with severe
renal impairment
(GFR <30 ml/min/1.73 m
2
) is 1 mg once daily (see sections 4.3 and 5.2). No dose adjustment is
required for patients with mild to moderate renal impairment.
_Patients with hepatic impairment_: Patients with severe hepatic
impairment (Child-Pugh class C) start
with 1 mg once daily which may be increased to 2 mg if required to
improve efficacy and if the 1 mg
dose
