Prucalopride, sold under brand names Resolor and Motegrity among others, is a medication acting as a selective, high affinity 5-HT4 receptoragonist[4] which targets the impaired motility associated with chronic constipation, thus normalizing bowel movements.[5][6][7][8][9][10] Prucalopride was approved for medical use in the European Union in 2009,[3] in Canada in 2011,[11] in Israel in 2014,[12] and in the United States in December 2018.[13] The drug has also been tested for the treatment of chronic intestinal pseudo-obstruction.[14][15]
