Used to treat gastrointestinal motility disorders, particularly in conditions like gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), chronic gastritis, and functional dyspepsia. It enhances gastric emptying and improves intestinal transit by stimulating serotonin 5-HT4 receptors, which in turn increases the release of acetylcholine in the enteric nervous system. This action helps coordinate smooth muscle activity in the upper digestive tract, relieving symptoms such as bloating, nausea, and postprandial fullness. Commonly prescribed in adults for symptomatic relief where delayed motility is a factor.
