In daily life, we often see some people who work in a hurry, and often put their gastrointestinal tract in "dire straits". If you have an irregular diet for a long time, coupled with the negative emotions caused by high pressure, it will easily cause bloating, fullness and other phenomena over time. In fact, the root cause is insufficient gastric motility or gastroduodenal motility disorder. When gastric motility is insufficient, if you want to quickly restore gastric motility, a good way is to take drugs that promote gastric motility. So what are the drugs that promote gastric motility? Most of the more common prokinetic drugs are dopamine receptor antagonists. Dopamine receptor antagonists can promote gastric emptying, increase lower esophageal sphincter pressure, and promote coordinated movement of the antrum and duodenum. Among them, metoclopramide can pass through the blood-brain barrier and occasionally cause extrapyramidal side effects, with a symptom relief rate of 60% to 80%. Cisapride is an HT4 receptor agonist that promotes the motility of the entire digestive tract, has good therapeutic effects, and can improve gastric emptying by up to 80%.
