dc.description.abstractErythromycin has a limited role in treating pediatric patients (strength of recommendation [SOR]: B, limited-quality, patient-oriented evidence). Tegaserod and cisapride are the only prokinetic agents available for constipated adults (SOR: A, consistent, good-quality, patient-oriented evidence for tegaserod; SOR: B, for cisapride), but cardiovascular risk restricts prescribing of both medications.eng
