How long does it take motegrity to work?

Ah, yes. The age-old question that has plagued humanity since the dawn of time. Or at least, since the invention of medications. How long does it take for a medication to start working? Specifically, how long does it take motegrity to work? Well my friend, you have come to the right place (or article) because we are going to answer all your questions about this mysterious drug.

What is Motegrity?

Before we dive into its efficacy and how quickly it works, let’s first answer what in tarnation motegrity actually is.

Motegrity (also known as prucalopride) is used to treat chronic idiopathic constipation (CIC). Quick vocab lesson: “idiopathic” means of unknown origin or cause. So basically CIC refers to people who experience persistent bowel movements less than three times per week and there doesn’t seem to be a reason for it (cough stress cough cough).

In plain English: if you’re having trouble pooping on the reg without knowing why – motegrity may help alleviate some symptoms.

Side Effects

Like with many things in life (insert motivational cat poster here) there can be serious side effects when taking motrigemmity…motegrityty…mo-tre-gen-it-y.

Common side effects include:

  • Nausea
  • Diarrhea (surprise!)
  • Stomach pain
  • Gas (just blame your doggo)
  • Headache
  • Burping (that was me)

Less common but more serious side effects might include:

  • Severe abdominal pain
  • Difficulty breathing
  • Rash or hives

But don’t fret too much! These intense reactions only happen in a small percentage of patients like finding waldo dressed as Harry Potter among hundreds of solid red shirts; possible, but not very likely.

How Long Does it Take to Work?

Now the question we’ve all been waiting for: how long does it take motegrity to show some positive effects?

The short answer (because let’s face it, attention spans are shorter than ever in this day and age) is that motegrity should start working after taking one dose. But wait! There’s more!

According to fancy schmancy clinical trials (imagine a lab-coated scientist holding a clipboard and squinting into a microscope) about 30% of people will see an improvement in bowel movements within two days of starting motegrity. While another third will experience relief between four-to-five days (this is where you schedule your PTO) from their first dose (Remember when I said “there’s more”? Test passed!).

In short:

  • First Dose – Should begin showing its effects
  • 2nd Day – 1/3 People see some improvements
  • Between Days Four-Five – Another Third begins experiencing relief

Those who find themselves among the final third may need for their bodies’ digestive system to simmer in with Motegrity before achieving results. In other words, patience is key🔑!!

Recommendations

So what have we learned today?

Motegregity can help alleviate symptoms related to chronic idiopathic constipation

There are both common side effects that occur frequently as well as rare ones that outside most circumstances wouldn’t happen

And finally…while significant results can occur after one use, doctors typically recommend giving yourself at least several days worth of time alongside dosages schedule recommendations for optimal effectiveness.
