Prucalopride: side effects and experiences
Has anyone experienced a faster heartbeat while taking prucalopride?
I tested positive for IMO and my gastroenterologist prescribed prucalopride 1 mg once daily which I’ve now been talking for around 3 weeks.
Initially I took it at night, but it caused significant insomnia, so I switched to taking it in the morning and reduced the dose to 0.5 mg. This seemed to improve my sleep, however, I’ve occasionally noticed my heart beating faster for a few minutes. Has anyone else experienced this with prucalopride? Did it settle over time, or did you have to stop the medication?
It has definitely improved my bowel movements and reduced my bloating, so I’d prefer to stay on it if possible.
