Gastrointestinal motility drugs are a class of medications designed to regulate and enhance the movement of the digestive tract. Gastrointestinal motility drugs can be categorized into prokinetic agents, laxatives, and stimulants. Prokinetic agents, such as metoclopramide, help stimulate the coordinated contractions of the stomach and intestines, improving the transit of food and preventing reflux. Laxatives, like fiber supplements and osmotic laxatives , aid in softening stools and promoting regular bowel movements. Stimulant laxatives, such as bisacodyl, trigger intestinal contractions and bowel movements.Gastrointestinal motility drugs are a class of medications designed to regulate and enhance the movement of the digestive tract.
