  • MetabollsmIt undergoes extensive metabolism in the liver and gut wall mainly via the cytochrome P450 isoenzyme CYP3A4. The main metabolic pathways are oxidative N-dealkylation, producing the major metabolite norcisapride, and aromatic hydroxylation to 3-fluoro-4-hydroxycisapride and 4-fluoro-2-hydroxycisapride.
  • Half life7~10 h
  • ExcretionMore than 90% of a dose is excreted as metabolites in urine and faeces in approximately equal amounts. 4 to 6% of a dose is recovered as the unchanged drug in faeces and 0.2% in urine. A small amount is distributed into breast milk with approx. 0.1% of a dose being detected (milk:serum ratio, 0.045). It is not removed by haemodialysis.
  • Urinary ExcretionN/A
  • Clerance100 ml/min
  • ToxicityRare cases of cardiac arrhythmia, including ventricular tachycardia, ventricular fibrillation, and torsade de pointes, and QT interval prolongation have been reported.
