MOA
TU
Tox

A

domperidone
MOA: inhibition of inhibitory dopamine interneurons, increasing motility
TU: impaired gastric emptying (vagotomy, gastroparesis)

17
Q

Metoclopramide
MOA
TU
Tox

A

Metoclopramide
MOA: inhibition of inhibitory dopamine interneurons, increasing motility

18
Q

TCAs

MOA

A

TCAs
MOA: decrease NE reuptake –> increased activation of alpha-2 on cholinergic parasympathetics –> decreased ACh release, decreased motility

19
Q
