Abstract
Gastro-oesophageal reflux disease may result from a host of factors. Medical therapy has largely been aimed at neutralizing acid or decreasing acid production but improvement of upper-gastrointestinal motility may prove to be a valuable treatment modality as well. This paper reviews the current state of knowledge of the pathogenesis of reflux disease and concentrates upon promotility treatment with domperidone, metoclopramide and cisapride.Entities:
