Identification
Common NameCisapride
ClassSmall Molecule
DescriptionIn many countries (including Canada) cisapride has been either withdrawn or has had its indications limited due to reports about long QT syndrome due to cisapride, which predisposes to arrhythmias. The FDA issued a warning letter regarding this risk to health care professionals and patients.

Toxicity Profile
Route of ExposureCisapride is rapidly absorbed after oral administration, with an absolute bioavailability of 35-40%.
Mechanism of ToxicityCisapride acts through the stimulation of the serotonin 5-HT4 receptors which increases acetylcholine release in the enteric nervous system (specifically the myenteric plexus). This results in increased tone and amplitude of gastric (especially antral) contractions, relaxation of the pyloric sphincter and the duodenal bulb, and increased peristalsis of the duodenum and jejunum resulting in accelerated gastric emptying and intestinal transit.
MetabolismHepatic. Extensively metabolized via cytochrome P450 3A4 enzyme. Half Life: 6-12 hours
Toxicity ValuesNot Available
Lethal DoseNot Available
Carcinogenicity (IARC Classification)No indication of carcinogenicity to humans (not listed by IARC).
Uses/SourcesFor the symptomatic treatment of adult patients with nocturnal heartburn due to gastroesophageal reflux disease.
Minimum Risk LevelNot Available
Health EffectsNot Available
SymptomsDiarrhea, upset stomach, stomach discomfort, vision changes, constipation.
TreatmentIn instances of overdose, patients should be evaluated for possible QT prolongation and ventricular arrhythmias, including torsades de pointes. Treatment should include gastric lavage and/or activated charcoal, close observation and general supportive measures. (3)
