Single and combined effects of atropine and metoclopramide on the lower oesophageal sphincter pressure. 1981

B R Cotton, and G Smith

The effects of atropine and metoclopramide on the lower oesophageal sphincter pressure (LOSP) were studied in 12 healthy volunteers using oesophageal pressure transducers. Atropine decreased LOSP significantly at 5 min after i.v. injection (P less than 0.005) and this change was sustained for 60 min. Metoclopramide increased LOSP significantly at 3 min after administration i.v. (P less than 0.05) and this change was sustained for 40 min. Following consecutive administration of the drugs the effects of atropine predominated.
