FAQs
What is M Prid Suspension used for?
M Prid Suspension is used to relieve constipation, bloating, excessive gas, and indigestion. It helps break down gas bubbles to ease discomfort and improves gut movement, helping food pass smoothly through the stomach and intestines. It may also be prescribed for conditions like GERD to reduce heartburn and improve digestion.<br>
I often feel very full and bloated after eating. Can M Prid Suspension help?
Yes, this is one of the primary uses of M Prid Suspension. The cisapride component in M Prid Suspension helps your stomach to empty more quickly, so you do not feel uncomfortably full for a long time after a meal. At the same time, the simethicone in M Prid Suspension works to eliminate any gas that may have built up, providing relief from bloating and pressure.<br>
How quickly will I feel relief after taking M Prid Suspension?
The exact time M Prid Suspension takes to provide relief is not known. However, it may start working quite quickly to break up gas bubbles, so you may feel some relief from bloating within about 30 minutes. The improvement in stomach emptying is more gradual and works best with consistent use before meals.<br>
Who should not take M Prid Suspension?
Individuals should absolutely not take M Prid Suspension if they have a history of heart problems, especially any kind of arrhythmia, or an abnormal ECG (like a long QT interval). It is also contraindicated in patients with severe liver or kidney disease. Your doctor must perform a thorough evaluation of your heart health before prescribing this medication.<br>
Is this combination safe for long-term use?
Due to the potential heart-related risks associated with cisapride, this combination is not intended for long-term use. It should only be used for the shortest duration necessary to control symptoms, under the close supervision of a healthcare provider.<br>
