Prokinetics in Patients with Gastroparesis: A Systematic Analysis
Digestion, 1999<i>Background:</i> The relative potency of prokinetics in patients with gastroparesis has not been systematically studied. This study, therefore, aimed to assess the available data and to compare the effects of different prokinetics on symptoms and gastric emptying rates in patients with gastroparesis.

Erythromycin as a gastrointestinal prokinetic agent
Intensive and Critical Care Nursing, 2001Erythromycin is a potent stimulator of gastrointestinal (GI) motility and can be a useful agent to treat GI stasis in patients who are critically ill. However, it is not licensed for this indication and has serious drug interactions which may limit its utility.

PROKINETIC AGENTS IN POSTGASTRECTOMY PATIENTS
Gastroenterology Clinics of North America, 1994Postgastrectomy syndromes are uncommon but, unfortunately, frustrating for both patient and physician, because treatment with prokinetic agents is often of limited benefit. This article examines the evidence for efficacy of available prokinetic drugs in the management of these difficult disorders.

Gastroesophageal Reflux and Prokinetic Agents
Neonatal Network, 2005GASTROESOPHAGEAL REFLUX (GER), a common problem in preterm and term infants, occurs when there is retrograde movement of gastric contents into the esophagus. The severity of the reflux is related to the height of the gastric contents up into the esophagus or the oral pharynx. Transient lower esophageal sphincter relaxation is the main mechanism thought

Prokinetics and reflux: a promise unfulfilled
European Journal of Gastroenterology & Hepatology, 2002Gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GORD) has been described as a motility disorder of the upper gastrointestinal tract. Disturbances of lower oesophageal sphincter function, lower oesophageal body motility, oesophageal clearance and gastric emptying are well accepted.

Prokinetic drugs--preparations that stimulate gastro-intestinal motility--constitute a relatively new concept in medical therapy, chiefly represented by the products cisapride and metoclopramide. This review consists in an account of the physiological regulation of motility in the upper gastro-intestinal tract where prokinetic drugs are considered to ...

Gastroesophageal Reflux and Prokinetics
2017Prokinetic agents have been widely employed in pediatric patients in order to reduce the symptoms of GERD. These drugs seem to enhance lower esophageal sphincter (LES) tone, to improve esophageal clearance, and to increase gastric motility thus increasing emptying of gastric contents.
