According to one report, up to 40% of patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) may also have associated gastroparesis or delayed gastric emptying. This raises a critical question for many: **can long term PPI use cause gastroparesis**? While PPIs are known to slow gastric emptying, medical evidence suggests they typically exacerbate, rather than directly cause, the underlying nerve or muscle damage defining gastroparesis.

An estimated 15-20% of the global population suffers from Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD), a condition that can be treated with specific medications. Mosid, a brand name for the active ingredient Mosapride, is a prescription medication used to address the symptoms of GERD and other digestive motility disorders. It works by increasing stomach and intestinal movement, facilitating the faster passage of food through the digestive tract.
