prokinetic agent

A prokinetic agent is a type of medication that helps stimulate the movement of the digestive tract. It works by enhancing the contractions of the muscles in the stomach and intestines, which aids in the passage of food and reduces issues like bloating and nausea. Prokinetic agents are often prescribed for conditions like gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) or delayed gastric emptying. By improving how food moves through the digestive system, these medications can help relieve discomfort and improve overall digestive health.
