Quick Reference
What Is Cisapride?
Cisapride is a prokinetic medication used in veterinary medicine to enhance gastrointestinal motility. It is commonly prescribed for pets with chronic constipation, delayed gastric emptying, or megacolon. Because cisapride is no longer commercially available, it must be compounded for veterinary use.
How Cisapride Works in Pets
Cisapride works by stimulating serotonin (5-HT4) receptors in the gastrointestinal tract, which increases coordinated muscle contractions and improves forward movement of intestinal contents. This action helps relieve constipation and supports normal bowel function in affected pets.
