drugs that enhance motility of GI
prokinetic drugs
type of motility aiming for
Coordinated GI motility
main 2 drugs of choice
metoclopramide & domperidone
effector neuron proximal to bolus release

cholinergic drugs are not used anymore due to
Unspecific to GI muscarinic receptors
Uncoordinated GI motility
Example s on cholinergic drugs
bethanechol

indirectly
cholinergic agonists are used nowadays rarely for
