In this study, the effect of prucalopride on cognitive functioning in schizophrenia is studied.\n\nParticipants who are diagnosed with schizophrenia, attending consultation at the outpatient department (OPD) of Psychiatry at K.S. Hegde Hospital and Nitte Rural Medical and Psychiatry Centre will be invited to participate in the study through their treating consultant. Interested participants and their Legally acceptable representative (LAR) will be administered the written informed consent. The participant will be screened and on fulfilling the inclusion and exclusion criteria will be enrolled into the study.\n\nSocio demographic details will obtained from the participants. Baseline laboratory analysis which includes complete blood count, random blood sugar, liver function test, renal function test, urine analysis, ECG will be done for all the participants to screen for fitness. Urine pregnancy test will be done for women participants in the reproductive age group.\n\nPositive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) will be administered to the participants.\n\nBrief assessment of Cognition in Schizophrenia (BACS) will be administered in the following order i.
