Prulicon Tablet 1 mg contains Prucalopride Succinate, a selective serotonin (5-HT4) receptor agonist used for the treatment of chronic constipation. It works by enhancing intestinal motility, helping to restore normal bowel movements in patients who do not respond adequately to laxatives.

Prucalopride is particularly useful in chronic idiopathic constipation, improving stool frequency and bowel emptying.
