HealingWell.com Forum > Diseases & Conditions > GERD - Heartburn > Prokinetic agents - drugs that tighten the lower esophageal sphincter. These drugs work by tightening the lower esophageal sphincter, which helps prevent acid from washing back up into the esophagus. They also slightly increase the contractions of the esophagus and the stomach to help empty the stomach faster. Prokinetic agents include metoclopramide (also known as Reglan), bethanechol (Duvoid) and tegaserod (Zelnorm).
If GERD progressively gets worse, it can cause serious damage to the esophagus such as: 1  inflammation of the esophagus, esophagitis, or ulcerations. 2  damage to the lining of the esophagus, called esophageal strictures. 3  a condition in which the esophagus forms a new lining, known as Barrett's esophagus.
