    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 ...

    [62] [63] The cause is thought to be blockade of hERG voltage-gated potassium channels. [16] [17] The risks are dose-dependent, and appear to be greatest with high/very high doses via intravenous administration and in the elderly, as well as with drugs that interact with domperidone and increase its circulating concentrations (namely CYP3A4 ...

  5. Drug interaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drug_interaction

    Drugs that change intestinal motility may impact the level of other drugs taken. For example, prokinetic agents increase the intestinal motility, which may cause drugs to go through the digestive system too fast, reducing absorption. [citation needed] The pharmacological modification of pH can affect other compounds.

    Also, BSS inhibits cyclooxygenase enzyme and leads to a decrease in the production of prostaglandins, which are compounds that increase intestinal inflammation and motility. [1] Lastly, this antidiarrheal agent enhances fluid reabsorption, which helps improve diarrhea symptoms and stool consistency. [1]

  9. Itopride - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Itopride

    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.
