Activation of a wide range of serotonin receptors by serotonin itself or by certain prokinetic drugs results in enhanced gastrointestinal motility. [3] Other prokinetic drugs may increase acetylcholine concentrations by stimulating the M 1 receptor which causes acetylcholine release, or by inhibiting the enzyme acetylcholinesterase which ...
Cisapride is a gastroprokinetic agent, a drug that increases motility in the upper gastrointestinal tract. It acts directly as a serotonin 5-HT 4 receptor agonist and indirectly as a parasympathomimetic. Stimulation of the serotonin receptors increases acetylcholine release in the enteric nervous system.
Mosapride is a gastroprokinetic agent that acts as a selective 5HT 4 agonist.The major active metabolite of mosapride, known as M1, additionally acts as a 5HT 3 antagonist, [1] which accelerates emptying throughout the whole of the gastrointestinal tract in humans, [2] and is used for the treatment of gastritis, gastroesophageal reflux disease, functional dyspepsia [3] and irritable bowel ...
[25] [26] [2] However, it is available in the United States for people with severe and treatment-refractory gastrointestinal motility problems under an expanded access individual-patient investigational new drug application. [25] An analogue of domperidone called deudomperidone is under development for potential use in the United States and ...
Autoimmune gastrointestinal dysmotility (AGID) is an autoimmune disease autonomic neuropathy affecting the gastrointestinal organs and digestive system of the body. Dysmotility is when the strength or coordination of the esophagus , stomach or intestines muscles do not work as they should.
These drugs inhibit dopamine and acetylcholine esterase enzyme and have a gastrokinetic effect. [3] Itopride is indicated for the treatment of functional dyspepsia and other gastrointestinal conditions. [4] It is a combined D 2 receptor antagonist and acetylcholinesterase inhibitor. [5] [6] Itopride is the dimethoxy analog of trimethobenzamide.

Alpha blockers may increase GI motility if that is an issue, also 5 mg to 10 mg amitriptyline if motility is an issue that can't be solved by other methods Antigas - simethicone , beano , omnimax reduces epigastric pressure
