Renzapride

Renzapride Uses, Dosage, Side Effects, Food Interaction and all others data.

Renzapride is currently in Phase III clinical development in the United States for the treatment of constipation-predominant irritable bowel syndrome (IBS-C). It has been suggested that renzapride is effective in the treatment of irritable bowel syndrome with alternating stool pattern. It is being developed by Alizyme of the UK.

Renzapride is a substituted benzamide which acts on the upper gastrointestinal tract. It has been shown to enhance stomach emptying in normal subjects; doses of 2 and 5 mg decreasing by 21 and 37% respectively the volume of gastric contents aspirated 80 min after a test meal. Renzapride was found to reduce the oro-caecal transit time as assessed by the lactulose/breath hydrogen method in a dose related manner from 0.2 to 5 mg; the later dose producing a 62% reduction.
