How does Clomet work?

Clomet helps your stomach and intestines work better. It makes your stomach muscles contract more, which helps food move through your stomach and intestines faster. It also relaxes the muscles at the bottom of your stomach, which makes it easier for food to move into your intestines. Clomet also strengthens the muscles at the bottom of your esophagus, which helps prevent stomach acid from flowing back into your esophagus.
