How should I take cisapride?
Take cisapride exactly as directed by your doctor. If you do not understand these directions, ask your pharmacist, nurse, or doctor to explain them to you.
 | Take each dose with a full glass of water. |
 | Shake the liquid well before measuring a dose. |
To ensure that you get a correct dose, measure the liquid form of cisapride with a special dose-measuring spoon or cup, not with a regular table spoon. If you do not have a dose-measuring device, ask your pharmacist where you can get one.
Cisapride is usually taken four times a day, at least 15 minutes before meals and at bedtime. Follow your doctor's instructions.
 | Do not consume grapefruit or grapefruit juice while taking cisapride. Grapefruit products may increase amount of cisapride available in your body, which could lead to dangerous side effects. |
 | Store cisapride at room temperature away from moisture and heat. |
