Hi,
Cintapro contains cinitapride that belongs to the group of medications known as gastro prokinetic agents is used in the treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) or acid reflux, indigestion, functional dyspepsia etc. But like other medications this has some side effects of its own. Diarrhea is the most common side effect with this medicine. So it is recommended to take plenty of fluids to avoid dehydration.
But in some cases, this medication also may cause constipation as a side effect. Usually this medication induced side effects are mild as well as self limiting and go away over time without any medical treatment. But if this medication induced side effects persist for long or bother you then you should consult your doctor first for medical help.
