Medications associated with oral, pharyngeal, and esophageal dysphagia causes of dysphagia and drug-induced dysphagia are discussed. Part 3-deals with important medications that can cause dysfunction of the gastrointestinal system and those that are used to treat gastrointestinal dysfunction. Tables are included throughout for this quick and easy-to-use reference. These tables are organized into medication groups based on their use.

The tables include the recommended doses of these medications and the commonly encountered side effects associated with them, which may contribute to dysphagia. After a stroke, one of the basic needs for a patient is to be able to swallow in order to eat and then to have the motor skills to resume speaking.
