Who rescued whom?
Cisapride (aka Propulsid) is life-saving medicine for GI care. We use this medicine twice daily for our young cat, Panda, with megacolon secondary to healed complex fractures of the pelvis with complex neurologic injury after being run over by a car as a young kitten. When we adopted him, we immediately and successfully started Cisapride courtesy of our vet, aiding his quality of life immeasurably. It is true: we may have adopted Panda, however, Panda rescued us and while he may be less than enthusiastic about the taste, he takes his medicine with little protest from his human "daddy" whom he adores.

Comes out of Suspension before it should
I purchased product the end of april...stored as directed,and shook as directed.After approx. 6 weeks, -producted had seperated to the point that there was a lump of it in the bottom of the bottle.
I can't recommend ordering over 6 weeks worth at a time, which may throw out the free shipping.

Thank You!

Megacolon Relief!
From GeorgiaComments about Cisapride Oral Suspension (Compounded)Although Cisparide is usually given prior to feeding, the process of administering medication was traumatizing to both us and our cat, Tigger. We now mix with his food per our vet's instruction and cisapride has continued to work well for relief of constipation and/or vomiting associated with megacolon. Previously used lactulose with limited results. Now exclusively use this product, soft food and Miralax for great results. If your cat is suffering from megacolon, I highly recommend you discuss this option with your vet. Just remember to shake before use for proper dosing! -

From Nashville, TN, USAComments about Cisapride Oral Suspension (Compounded)I ordered this to replace the one I got from my vet thru another pharmacy. This one is mixed with oil, which works better than the other that was mixed with water.I assume that the oil helps to lubercate,making life much easier for kitty. Also, delivery was fast! -

Q & A
-
Can Cisapride suspension be mixed with wet cat food??
-
The dose of cisapride in cats can vary based on individual cat and severity of condition. Ideally, cisapride should be given 15-30 minutes before food, but it can be administered with food if the cat vomits or acts sick after dosing. Contact your veterinarian if vomiting continues. Your veterinarian may recommend to mix Cisapride Suspension (Compounded) with food to facilitate dosing. If this is recommended, mix the measured dose of cisapride with a small amount of food at the beginning of the meal to ensure the entire dose is consumed, before providing the rest of the meal portion. It would not be recommended to pre-mix, rather mix immediately before feeding.

Is the cisapride formula available in a water-based liquid chicken flavored formula?
-
Compounded Cisapride suspension is only made with a corn oil base because a water based product would require refrigeration. Since the water-based formula must be refrigerated and has a shorter shelf life than the oil-based formula, VetRxDirect only compounds an oil-based cisapride suspension in order to maintain a longer shelf-life for our customers. If you have any questions, feel free to contact our pharmacy.

My cat has been on cisapride for the past two weeks and had diarrhea today. Should I skip a dose tomorrow morning or cut back the amount??
-
Cisapride works by stimulating your cat's intestinal contractions, which will help reduce chronic constipation and other conditions where food and waste materials have stopped moving through the gastrointestinal tract. The most common side effects of cisapride are diarrhea and abdominal pain. The dosing of this medication is individualized and may vary for each animal. Dose adjustments may be recommended based upon an assessment of how your cat is responding to the medication. Do not skip doses or stop giving the medication without consulting with your veterinarian first. Give the exact amount prescribed and only as often as directed. Thank you, VetRxDirect

How important is it to give 15 to 30 minutes prior to meals? Is it not effective if given just before a meal or with food??
-
Cisapride may be given with or without food however some veterinarians may recommend trying to dose cisapride 15 to 30 minutes before meals. Giving cisapride with food may help settle the stomach if the animal experiences upset stomach, nausea or vomiting after its dose of medication. Thank you, VetRxDirect
