Discontinued for human use.

"The Medicines Control Agency has withdrawn cisapride from the market because of rare but serious cardiac adverse effects. (Reference: Advice from the Medicines Control Agency, 21 July 2000.)"

Is available as a specials medicine from compounding pharmacies like Summit.

Summit still do both liquid and tablets but the liquid is currently out of stock ... and likely to be so for the next 6 weeks or so.

Well, that's what I've been told anyway...

Summit did it last time I checked - could have been discontinued I guess, but probably worth checking yourself.
