Effects of the herbal preparation STW 5‐II on <i>in vitro</i> muscle activity in the guinea pig stomach

202017 citationsOpen accessKafr el-Sheikh University

Abstract

STW 5-II had a region-specific effect and relaxed the proximal stomach but increased the contractility in the antrum. It was as effective as STW 5 which may explain its comparable clinical effects in treating functional dyspepsia. Impaired accommodation may be normalized through relaxation of the fundus, while the motility-promoting effects leading to an increase in antral motility may activate the gastric pump.
