title: The effect of intravenous domperidone on the resting lower oesophageal sphincter pressure in dogs and baboons.
abstract: Domperidone (Motilium), a dopamine receptor blocking agent, increased the resting tone of the lower oesophageal sphincter in 15 dogs and 6 baboons. It is therefore a potentially useful drug in the management of gastrooesophageal reflux due to incompetence of the lower oesophageal sphincter.
