Abstract:
Gastrointestinal motility disorders are in high incidence in children.Due to moderate prokinetic effects,poor symptomatic responses and the presence of adverse effects,there is a clear need for new classes of prokinetics.Currently available drug classes in adult include antidopami-nergic agents,serotonergic agents,and motilin-receptor while there are less available drug classes in children.The aim of the present article is to review and address the present use of promotility drugs in the treatment of different gastrointestinal motor disorders,as well as the potential for future developments.
