Gastrostimulant

A gastrostimulant is a type of medication used to help stimulate the body’s digestive system. This type of medication is often used to treat certain medical conditions, such as gastroparesis, a condition in which the muscles of the stomach are too weak to properly digest food. Gastrostimulants help to increase the motility of the stomach, which helps to increase the speed at which food is digested and absorbed. Gastrostimulants can also be used to reduce the symptoms of nausea and vomiting. This type of medication is usually taken orally in the form of capsules, tablets, or liquid forms. Some of the most common gastrostimulants are prokinetic agents, such as metoclopramide, domperidone, and erythromycin. These medications work by increasing the activity of the muscles in the stomach and small intestine, which helps to increase the speed of digestion. In some cases, a gastrostimulant may be used in combination with other medications, such as antacids, to help reduce stomach acid and improve digestion.
