Abstract
The withdrawal of cisapride from the market will present challenges for phy sicians treating patients with nocturnal heartburn, gastroparesis, and dysp epsia. However, alternatives to the drug exist, and it will continue to be available under a limited-access program for patients for whom other drug t reatments fail.
