  • Title: [Prokinetic drugs in digestive disorders].
    Author: Carella G, Marra L.
    Journal: Clin Ter; 1993 Sep; 143(3):219-24. PubMed ID: 8222553.
    Abstract:
    In this paper the authors review the main prokinetic drugs analyzing their pharmacological properties, therapeutic indications and adverse effects. In addition, some more recently introduced substances are taken into consideration which, although they were not initially used for digestive tract dyskinesias, can nevertheless be used in certain conditions. From this point of view, calcium blocking agents employed in spastic conditions of the esophagus and the new antiserotoninergic drugs for treatment of anticancer chemotherapy-induced vomiting are of particular interest.
