Y Vandenplas. Eur J Gastroenterol Hepatol. 1998 Oct.

Abstract

This paper provides a comprehensive review of the current knowledge on cisapride in different clinical conditions in children: different manifestations of gastro-oesophageal reflux, such as (excessive) regurgitation, oesophagitis, chronic respiratory disease or uncontrolled asthma, cystic fibrosis, chronic dyspepsia, constipation and pseudo-obstruction, and as an aid to small bowel capsule-biopsy. It discusses, in depth, the safety profile of cisapride in paediatric patients.
