HAS ANYONE TAKEN MOTEGRITY FOR GASTROPARESIS - AND IF SO DID IT WORK?

Hi,
It appears it's been some time since you posted-not sure how your'e doing. I have been on it for a short time, and am on 2mg. So far, the results are inconsistent, which isn't great-I see GI in Rochester for consults and I am hoping for a better report to give them at my appointment in May. But it's been a short time-only a couple weeks-it's also very expensive and that is hard for me, the insurance coverage is limited as it's non-formulary. And the manufacturer's coupon isn't available at the moment, their system for it was hacked and has been down for several weeks and there's no idea when it will be back up and running-regardless it may be back to the drawing board. Which stinks as I am running out of options.
Best to you!

I’ve been on it just 5-6 weeks. I’m 85% sure it is helping but I know that pyridostigmine didn’t work after taking that for a year. Chronic Pseudo Obstruction - cousin to gastroparesis.

Hello. My Mayo GI specialist gave me a written Rx for Motegrity and I sent off to a Canadian Pharmacy. I got a 84 day supply of 1mg for $251 and sent that off to my provider for potential reimbursement. UHC was paying 50% of $550 because of it being non formulary. Even if I don’t get reimbursed I am better off. There is only 1 manufacturer of prucalopride in the US with FDA approval - but there are 4-5 worldwide.
