Abstract:
Based on a review of the literature, the authors present the indications for Primperan in paediatrics. The anti-emetic and motor properties of Primperan can be useful in the treatment of gastro-intestinal disorders in infants and children, gastro-duodenal dyskinesia and gastro-oesophageal reflux, but it is also useful for the radiological or endoscopic diagnosis of these conditions and in anaesthetics.
