Common "Prokinetic Medications" queries answered by top doctors | iCliniq

Prokinetic Medications

Prokinetic medications are the drugs that help control acid reflux. They work by strengthening the lower esophageal sphincter (LES) and cause the contents of the stomach to empty faster. Unlike other acid reflux medications, prokinetic drugs can cause serious or dangerous side effects. Prokinetic drugs can be used to treat people with insulin-dependent diabetes or children with impaired bowel movement or severe constipation that does not respond to other treatments.
