Preparing questions in advance can help patients to have more meaningful discussions with their physicians regarding their conditions. Patients may wish to ask their doctor the following questions about prokinetics:

1. I’ve heard that prokinetics are potentially dangerous – why are you suggesting that I use them?
   
   
2. Which type of prokinetic is best for me?
   
   
3. How will prokinetics work to treat my condition?
   
   
4. I understand that cisapride is a good option for treating my condition – how can I qualify to take this drug?
   
   
5. What risks are associated with the use of prokinetics?
   
   
6. Will prokinetics interfere with any of the other medications I am currently taking?
   
   
7. Will I have to make any dietary adjustments while taking prokinetics?
   
   
8. How long will it take for me to notice improvement in my condition?
   
   
9. Which side effects should I report immediately to you?
   
   
10. What other medication options do I have if I am unable to take prokinetics?
