Pharmacology

Motigut may be a dopamine antagonist that primarily targets the stomach’s and the Chemoreceptor rigger Zone’s (CTZ) dopamine receptors. Its gastroprokinetic function is dependent on the dopamine receptors it blocks, which affect gastrointestinal tract motility. Domperidone has a negligible effect on the dopaminergic receptors in the brain because of its inability to cross the blood-brain barrier; as a result, it has no psychotropic or neurologic adverse effects. Domperidone improves antral and duodenal peristalsis, restores normal upper gastrointestinal tract motility and tone, and inhibits pylorus withdrawal. It also promotes gastric purge. Domperidone also increases esophageal peristalsis and decreases the weight of the esophageal sphincter, preventing the release of gastric contents.
