Domperidone stimulates esophageal motility and increases gastric emptying rates. In the present study the effect of 8 mg domperidone i.v. on antroduodenal motility was investigated double blind and crossover in 10 healthy subjects. Domperidone increased significantly the frequency, amplitude and duration of duodenal and the duration of antral contractions (p less than 0.05). Pyloric motility was not affected. It is concluded that the stimulatory effect of domperidone on antroduodenal motility may contribute to the beneficial effect of the drug in gastroesophageal reflux and gastric ulcer.
