    Abstract: Methods are disclosed utilizing the optically pure (+) isomer of cisapride. This compound is a potent drug for the treatment of gastro-esophageal reflux disease while avoiding the concomitant liability of adverse effects associated with the racemic mixture of cisapride. This compound is also useful in treating or preventing emesis while avoiding the adverse effects associate with racemic cisapride. The optically pure (+) isomer of cisapride is also useful for the treatment of dyspepsia and such other conditions as may be related to the activity of (+) cisapride as a prokinetic agent such as gastroparesis, constipation, post-opera-tive ileus, and intestinal pseudo-obstruction without the concomitant liability of adverse effects associated with the racemic mixture of cisapride. The (+) isomer of cisapride has been found to exhibit higher bioavailability over the racemic cisapride.
