BACKGROUND: Tegaserod is a partial 5-hydroxytryptamine 4 receptor agonist with prokinetic effects on the gastrointestinal tract, its effects on oesophageal function are unknown.
AIM: A randomized, placebo controlled, double-blind trial assessed the effect of tegaserod on the oesophagus in healthy, asymptomatic subjects.
METHOD: A 7-day course of tegaserod 6 mg b.d. vs. placebo was prescribed (n = 17/21 completed both phases of study). High-resolution manometry and pH measurements were performed before and after a test meal. Bolus transport of liquids and solids was studied by high-resolution manometry and videofluoroscopy.
RESULTS: Tegaserod had no effect on lower oesophageal sphincter pressure compared with placebo, peristaltic velocity increased (P < 0.001) and distal contractile pressure decreased slightly (P < 0.05). Transient lower oesophageal sphincter relaxations and reflux were infrequent regardless of treatment. During the studies of bolus transport, high-resolution manometry revealed that tegaserod promoted mid-oesophageal contractility (P < 0.02) and shortened the 'proximal transition zone' (P < 0.05), the level where bolus escape occurred most frequently. These effects had no effect on liquid bolus transport; however a non-significant trend to improved solid bolus transport was observed (66% vs. 31%;P = 0.07).
CONCLUSION: Tegaserod did not alter lower oesophageal sphincter pressure, but had significant effects on peristaltic function. High-resolution manometry promoted mid-oesophageal contractility during bolus transport. This effect was associated with a non-significant trend to improved solid bolus transit.
