Any drug that is in the narcotic family, especially muscle relaxants. You need a doctor's prescrption to obtain any of these types of drugs. The muscle would not actually weaken, only become more relaxed as a result of the drug's effects.

Where is the lower esophageal sphincter?
at the junction of the esophagus and stomachlower-esophageal-sphincter
What characteristics does an abnormal esophageal function test have?
there are many diseases that cause poor relaxation of the lower esophageal sphincter. When no cause is found, the disease is called achalasia. Abnormal results of pH tests can confirm symptoms.
Where does peristalsis end?
Peristalsis ends at the lower esophageal sphincter also known as the cardiac sphincter. This sphincter is located at the junction between the starting of the stomach and the end of the esophagus.
What two types of smooth muscle surrounds the esophagus?
The body of the esophagus is bounded by physiologic sphincters known as the upper and lower esophageal sphincters. The upper sphincter is composed largely of a muscle that is closely associated with the larynx. When relaxed, as it is during swallowing, this muscle pulls the larynx forward and aids in routing food into the esophagus instead of the larynx. The lower sphincter is simply the muscle that surrounds the esophagus just as it enters the stomach. Both the upper and lower sphincter are closed except during swallowing, which prevents constant entry of air from the oral cavity or reflux of stomach contents.
How common is lower esophageal ring?
Lower esophageal ring (also called Schatzki's ring and B-ring) affects about 10-14% of the population.
Where is the lower esophageal sphincter?

What sphincter must open to permit vomiting?
The lower esophageal sphincter must open to permit vomiting.
The sphincter muscle that controls access to the stomach from the esophagus is called?
cardiac sphincter; or gastroesophageal sphincter; or lower esophageal sphincter (LES); or esophageal sphincter from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardia
What sphincter is involved in Acid reflux disease?
cardiac sphincter/lower esophageal sphincter (LES)
What sphincter that allows chyme to pass into the small intestine is known as the?
lower esophageal sphincter.
What is the name of the sphincter located between the esophagus and fundus of the stomach?
LES - Lower Esophageal Sphincter
Is the upper or lower esophageal sphincter most responsible for acid reflux problems?
The lower sphincter is responsible for reflux problems
What muscle does the esophagus pass through to reach the stomach?
The lower esophageal sphincter muscle/the cardiac sphincter muscle.
Ring like muscle that controls the flow from the stomach to the small intestine?
lower esophageal sphincter or gastroesophageal sphincter
What is the term for failure of the lower esophageal sphincter to relax?
Esophageal achalasia is the term used for the failure of the lower esophageal sphincter to relax, resulting in functional obstruction of the esophagus, and dysphagia. There is total absence of peristalsis of esophagus, and failure of the lower esophageal sphincter to relax when food or liquid is swallowed. This gives rise to vomiting of food or liquid as soon as it is swallowed. There really isn't any cause but there are some guesses none are proven.
Regurgitation of stomach contents is normally prevented by the actions of the?
lower esophageal sphincter
Backup of food from the small intestine to the stomach is prevented by the?
Lower Esophageal Sphincter
