Prokinetic Agents

Prokinetic agents are medications that help enhance the movement of food and liquids through the digestive system. They work by stimulating the muscles of the stomach and intestines to promote stronger and more coordinated contractions, which can improve symptoms like nausea, bloating, and difficulty swallowing. These drugs are often used to treat conditions such as gastroparesis (delayed stomach emptying) and certain motility disorders. By improving the natural process of digestion, prokinetic agents can help restore normal gastrointestinal function and alleviate related discomfort.
