Discuss your symptoms and treatment with a doctor online.

1. What Cidine 1 mg Tablets are and what they are used for

Cidine belongs to a group of medications called prokinetics, which work by stimulating gastrointestinal motility.

Cidine is indicated for the treatment of gastroesophageal reflux to enhance the effect of proton pump inhibitors (medications that reduce gastric acid production) and for mild to moderate functional disorders of gastrointestinal motility.

2. What you need to know before taking Cidine 1 mg Tablets

Do not take Cidine 1 mg Tablets

  • if you are allergic to cinitaprida or any of the other components of this medication (listed in section 6).
  • if you have gastrointestinal bleeding, obstruction, or perforation.
  • if you have a history of tardive dyskinesia induced by neuroleptics (rapid and repetitive movements of the head, neck, trunk, or limbs that may appear months after treatment has been discontinued).

Warnings and precautions

Consult your doctor or pharmacist before starting to take Cidine 1 mg Tablets

  • if you are an elderly patient and take the medication for a prolonged period, as it may cause tardive dyskinesia (rapid and repetitive movements of the head, neck, trunk, or limbs that may appear months after treatment has been discontinued).

Taking Cidine 1 mg Tablets with other medications

Inform your doctor or pharmacist that you are taking, have recently taken, or may need to take any other medication.

Cidine may increase the neurological effects of some medications, especially those used to treat diseases of the nervous system, insomnia, and moderate to severe pain.

Cidine may decrease the effect of digoxin, a medication used to treat heart failure.

On the other hand, some medications may decrease the action of Cidine. This is the case with some medications used to treat Parkinson's disease, abdominal pain, or respiratory diseases such as chronic bronchitis.

Taking Cidine 1 mg Tablets with food, drinks, and alcohol

Cidine should not be taken with alcohol, as it enhances its sedative effects.

Pregnancy and breastfeeding

If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, think you may be pregnant, or plan to become pregnant, consult your doctor or pharmacist before using this medication.

Pregnancy

There are no data on the use of cinitaprida in pregnant women. Animal studies do not suggest direct or indirect harmful effects in terms of reproductive toxicity. As a precautionary measure, it is recommended to avoid the use of cinitaprida during pregnancy.

If you have taken more Cidine than you should, consult your doctor or pharmacist immediately or call the Toxicology Information Service, phone: 915 620 420, indicating the medication and the amount taken.

The symptoms of overdose may be: drowsiness, disorientation, and extrapyramidal reactions (involuntary muscle movements of the face, neck, and tongue) that normally disappear when treatment is discontinued.

If you forget to take Cidine 1 mg Tablets

Do not take a double dose to make up for forgotten doses. Take the forgotten dose when you remember and then follow your regular schedule. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, do not take the forgotten dose and wait for the next scheduled dose.
