What the Health Canada label says it is for
1 INDICATIONS RESOTRAN® (prucalopride succinate tablets) is indicated for: • The treatment of chronic idiopathic constipation in adult female patients in whom laxatives failed to provide adequate relief. There were an insufficient number of male patients in the clinical trials to demonstrate efficacy. The efficacy of prucalopride has been established in double-blind, placebo-controlled studies for up to 3 months. In case of prolonged treatment the benefit should be re-assessed at regular intervals. If treatment with prucalopride is not effective during the first 4 weeks, therapy should be discontinued. 1.1 Pediatrics Pediatrics (<18 years of age): No data are available to Health Canada; therefore, Health Canada has not authorized an indication for pediatric use. 1.2 Geriatrics Geriatrics (> 65 years of age): RESOTRAN® has been studied in subjects 65 years and older. Clinical studies demonstrate that efficacy similar to that seen in the study population under the age of 65 years may be achieved at a lower dose (i.e., 1 mg) (see 6 DOSAGE FORMS, STRENGTHS… https://pdf.hres.ca/dpd_pm/00073288.PDF PM date: NOV 08, 2023 Source product: RESOTRAN; DIN 02377012; fetched 2026-09-10 Product monograph posted by Health Canada; excerpt for lookup only.

Other review policies

For Prucalopride: no applicable EAP criteria are held and no ODB benefit is established. These policies do not establish coverage.

For rare, immediately life-, limb- or organ-threatening circumstances, the Compassionate Review Policy may consider an unfunded drug or indication, subject to its criteria and without bypassing the drug review process. Compassionate Review Policy

Compassionate Review Policy: source quote
Where there are rare clinical circumstances in immediately life, limb, or organ-threatening conditions, the Executive Officer will also consider requests for drugs or indications in situations where there has not been a decision by the Executive Officer to provide funding of the drug or indication as part of the Ontario Drug Benefit program (and the EAP), and the drug or indication requested would not circumvent the established review process for new drugs or indications as part of the drug submission process for listing within the Ontario Drug Benefit program. Requests must meet the criteria for the Compassionate Review Policy.

For cancer drugs, Case-by-Case Review considers rare, immediately life-threatening circumstances when no satisfactory funded treatment exists; its criteria and application process apply. Case-by-Case Review (cancer drugs)

Case-by-Case Review (cancer drugs): source quote
Note: Requests for cancer drugs are considered under the Case-by-Case Review Program (CBCRP) which is administered by Ontario Health (Cancer Care Ontario) on behalf of the Ministry of Health. The CBCRP considers funding requests for drugs (both oral therapies and injectable drugs) for the treatment of cancer in patients who have a rare clinical circumstance that is immediately life-threatening (death is likely within a matter of months) and who require treatment with an unfunded drug, because there is no other satisfactory and funded treatment. Please refer to the Ontario Health website for information on the application process, FAQs, eligibility criteria and program policies.
