    Cisapride causes hunger

    ...and asthma, so it's been difficult to manage his health. But in regards to megacolon, he has been doing well lately with a combination of Cisapride and Miralax. I do have to adjust the doses from time to time. I have read about other cats here who have been on Cisapride so I felt it important...

    Megacolon and Cisapride

    ...so we proceeded with this and he was apparently so backed up!! Malik came home with a clean slate, is my understanding . The vet prescribed Cisapride 0.5ml and Lactulose 2-3 times a day. Since then he did a poo 4 days later. I’ve only just started the cisapride yesterday but had been doing...

    Poll: Cisapride dosing and price

    ...diagnosed with mega colon (I don't know why my old vet didn't pick this up a month ago on Xray). Anyway the new vet wants to put him on Cisapride 3 times a day. I'm okay with this.

    cisapride alternative in EU for megacolon kitty?

    ...dulcosoft (macrogol), which are laxatives/ stool softeners. We found info available online mostly from people in the us using miralax and cisapride, of which miralax is a laxative and cisapride enhances GI movement. However, we found neither of the two available in Europe. Does anyone know of...

    Regularity and frequency of poop with Cisapride-treated megacolon?

    Hi all, So a couple of months ago Daisy was put onto Cisapride and Osmolax (which is known as Miralax in the US) for recurring constipation that her vet thinks is probably early stage megacolon. She’s doing well on it - hasn’t been backed up at all, not dry or hard, either. She has her...

    Could adding Cisapride help when Miralax and Lactulose don't work?

    ...I'm considering switching him back to his old food too. Because why hasn't the doubling of Miralax done anything? Now I'm wondering if Cisapride would make sense to add in. The vet suggested I take him to an internist. I called and the cost to do that plus any tests are insane not to mention...

    Does it matter which order you give Cisapride and laxative (Osmolax, Miralax etc) doses?

    Daisy’s doing very well on her Cisapride and Osmolax combination for megacolon so far. Normally I give her Cisapride first, then her Osmolax two hours later. Generally she’s become pretty good about taking her capsules, but this morning she managed to spit it out without me noticing. I give it...

    Cisapride question

    ...that seems to have caused her to develop megacolon. It has been managed with diet and Miralax for a long time but now we need to add in Cisapride. The directions say to give 30 min before meal time, every 12 hours. This is difficult because she is a grazer. She often takes at least 1-2 hours...

    Warning Cisapride - off market for humans, bad for cats

    Just wanted all cat owners to know that Cisapride was pulled off market for humans. Only one pharmacy in Arizona has the remaining material. A few years ago my internal medicine vet wanted my cat to use Cisapride for her constipation. When I was in Scottsdale visiting my mom at her winter...
