چکیده

Mosapride is a gastroprokinetic agent that acts as a selective 5HT4 agonist which accelerates gastric emptying and is used for the treatment of acid reflux and functional dyspepsia. 5HT4 receptors are located in the alimentary tract, urinary bladder, heart and adrenal gland as well as the central nervous system (CNS) [4]. In the CNS, receptors appear in the putamen, caudate nucleus, nucleus accumbens, globus pallidus and sub-stantia nigra and to a lesser extent in the neocortex, raphe and pontine nuclei and some areas of the thalamus [5]. Mosapride acting on 5HT4 receptors in basal ganglia may have produced the symptomatic improvement in our patient. This case report suggests that mosapride (5HT4 agonist) may become a novel tool in the treatment of blepharospasm.
