Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Clinical Medicine
  • Pharmacology

Background:

  • Gastroparesis is a prevalent gastrointestinal disorder with significant global impact.
  • Common causes include idiopathic factors and diabetes mellitus.
  • Accurate diagnosis is crucial for effective, targeted gastroparesis therapy.

Observation:

  • This case report details two instances of medication-induced gastroparesis.
  • These cases were initially misdiagnosed as diabetic gastroparesis.
  • Detailed patient history revealed medication as the primary cause.

Findings:

  • Discontinuation of the offending medication led to symptom improvement and gastroparesis resolution.
  • Medication-induced gastroparesis is a reversible condition.
