Gastroparesis means stomach paralysis - it is a condition affecting the nerves and muscles in the stomach. It interferes with the muscle activity (peristalsis) that moves food through the stomach and into the small intestine. Gastroparesis drugs are medications used to manage the symptoms of gastroparesis; a condition characterized by delayed emptying of the stomach. These medications aim to improve gastric motility and alleviate symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, bloating, and abdominal pain.
