Cinitapride is a medication primarily used to treat gastrointestinal disorders such as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), functional dyspepsia, and delayed gastric emptying.

However, it is not recommended for use in patients with a history of heart disease or those taking certain medications such as antiarrhythmics or antipsychotics.
