alternative to Prepulsid (cisapride) for heartburn and other GI disorders
May 2000
Many patients are looking for an alternative to Prepulsid (cisapride) for heartburn and other GI disorders.
They're concerned about reports of fatal arrhythmias...usually when it's given to susceptible patients or combined with certain drugs.
