Mechanism of action

By activating 5-HT4 receptors in the gastrointestinal tract, OPN-375 promotes coordinated muscle contractions that propel food through the stomach more efficiently. This mechanism addresses the underlying pathophysiology of gastroparesis, a condition characterized by delayed gastric emptying and associated symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, and early satiety.
