Αν αυτά τα μέτρα δεν επαρκούν για την αντιμετώπιση του προβλήματος, τότε ο παιδίατρος γαστρεντερολόγος, αφού εξετάσει το μωράκι και κρίνει ότι η κατάστασή του απαιτεί την προσθήκη φαρμάκων, μπορεί να του χορηγήσει ειδικά φάρμακα, τα λεγόμενα προκινητικά, τα οποία βελτιώνουν την κινητικότητα του γαστρικού άντρου, δηλαδή του τμήματος εκείνου του στομάχου που είναι κατ' εξοχήν υπεύθυνο για την προώθηση της τροφής στο δωδεκαδάκτυλο, το πρώτο τμήμα του εντέρου. Τα φάρμακα αυτά βελτιώνουν επίσης την κινητικότητα του οισοφάγου, η οποία πολλές φορές στα βρέφη με γαστροοισοφαγική παλινδρόμηση είναι διαταραγμένη.Έτσι, η συνδυασμένη δράση του φαρμάκου βοηθά και στην αντιμετώπιση της γαστροοισοφαγικής παλινδρόμησης.

Prokinetics are a class of drugs used on the digestive system. It includes all drugs whose primary effect is to augment the speed of intestinal transit, by increasing the frequency of contractions in the small intestine or making them stronger, but without disrupting their rhythm. They are mostly used to treat or prevent pathological gastroesophageal reflux, or to speed up absorption of certain other drugs. Some of them can also be used to help in the treatment of nausea or other symptoms associated with dyspepsia. Most of these drugs are grouped under ATC code A03F.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prokinetic
Prokinetics are medications that stimulate contractions of the stomach muscles. Although these drugs may be used to treat dyspepsia, they are primarily used to prevent episodes of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). In this condition, stomach acid can back up into the esophagus, a condition known as reflux. When reflux occurs, the esophagus can become damaged and the patient may experience a burning sensation in the chest commonly known as heartburn.
Prokinetics reduce this abdominal discomfort by tightening the valve between the stomach and the esophagus (lower esophageal sphincter). This helps prevent acid from flowing into the esophagus. These medications also help the stomach to empty faster, which further reduces the reflux of stomach acid.
