Abstract
Pharmaceutical compositions are disclosed utilizing the optically pure (-) isomer of norcisapride. This compound is a potent drug for the treatment of gastro-esophageal reflux disease, emesis, dyspepsia and other conditions while substantially reducing the concomitant liability of adverse effects associated with cisapride. The (-) isomer of norcisapride also avoids the adverse drug interactions associated with racemic cisapride and other therapeutic agents.
