Brief Answer:
Prokinetic agent increase motility of stomach

Detailed Answer:
Hello! I hope you are feeling better.

Proton pump inhibitor and prokinetic agent both will help in nausea or vomiting. Also proton pump inhibitor will help in decreasing gastrointestinal secretions which will prevent further loss of nutrients from gastrointestinal tract.

Prokinetic agent improves or increase in motility of the stomach. So food will stay for lesser time in stomach so they help in improving nausea and vomiting, moreover they also strengthen the lower oesophageal sphincter

I hope I have answered your query and this will help you. If you have any further query I will be happy to answer that too. Remain in touch and get-well soon.
