Description
Motegrity is a prescription prokinetic medication used for the treatment of chronic idiopathic constipation CIC. Motegrity works to increase the movement of the colon muscle (peristalsis) to make bowel movements easier. The active ingredient Prucalopride targets a specific receptor in the colon to enhance the body's natural peristalsis process of waste elimination from the colon. You can buy Motegrity medication with a prescription at most pharmacies, and you may find your Motegrity cost is lower if you order your medication online from Canada.
