title: Gastrointestinal pharmacology.
abstract: Treatment of diseases affecting the gastrointestinal tract often focuses on resolution of clinical pharmacology of drugs used to treat the gastrointestinal tract, starting with appetite stimulants, followed by emetics and antiemetics, and antidiarrheals. Prokinetic agents and drugs used for the treatment of gastroduodenal ulceration are also discussed. Discussions include mechanisms of drug action, disposition of drugs as it relates to therapeutic use, drug interactions, adverse drug reactions, and clinical indications.
