The effect of cisapride on colonic transit time in patients with chronic functional constipation

Objective To investigate colonic transit time (CTT) in normal subjects and evaluate the effect of cisapride on CTT on chronic functional constipation. Methods Total and segmental CTT were measured in 25 healthy volunteers and 25 patients with chronic functional constipation using radiopaque markers ingested on each of 3 consecutive days with abdominal X rays obtained on the 4th and 7th days. Patients with prolonged total CTT received cisapride 10 mg t.i.d. orally for 4 weeks and CTT was measured again in the last week. Results The maximum normal value of total CTT was 56 h, it was prolonged in 15 of 25 constipated patients. On average the total CTT was significantly shortened from 103.07 h to 66.80 h ( P <0.01), the segmental CTT were also shortened significantly. Conclusion The technique to measure CTT is simple, convenient and reliable. Cisapride, which can reduce total and segmental CTT, is an effective drug in chronic functional constipation.
