Asparagus racemosus (Shatavari) is used in Ayurveda for dyspepsia (amlapitta) and as a galactogogue. It was hence compared with a modern drug, metoclopramide, which is used in dyspepsia to reduce gastric emptying time. Gastric emptying half- time (GE t1/2) was studied in 8 healthy male volunteers using a cross-over design. The basal GE t1/2 in volunteers was 159.9 +/- 45.9 min (mean +/- SD) which was reduced to 101 +/- 40.8 min by Shatavari (p less than 0.001) and to 85.3 +/- 21.9 by metoclopramide (p less than 0.001). Metoclopramide and Shatavari did not differ significantly in their effects.
阿育吠陀医学中使用印度人参（Shatavari）治疗消化不良（胃酸过多）并作为催乳剂。因此，将其与现代药物甲氧氯普胺进行了比较，甲氧氯普胺用于治疗消化不良以缩短胃排空时间。采用交叉设计在8名健康男性志愿者中研究了胃排空半衰期（GE t1/2）。志愿者的基础GE t1/2为159.9 +/- 45.9分钟（平均值 +/- 标准差），印度人参将其缩短至101 +/- 40.8分钟（p < 0.001），甲氧氯普胺将其缩短至85.3 +/- 21.9分钟（p < 0.001）。甲氧氯普胺和印度人参的效果无显著差异。
