The exhaustive chapters cover the basic knowledge of schizophrenic syndromes and provide a general description of available antipsychotic drugs. Leading specialists recount the investigation into a variety of receptors in drug action and present unique topics like endogenous receptor occupation by antipsychotic drugs and regulation of brain receptors. The book also includes a survey of the future perspectives in drug design.
Each year, pharmaceutical companies invest billions of dollars in developing hundreds of medications to treat psychiatric disorders. Neurotransmitter Receptors in Actions of Antipsychotic Medications helps you study and appreciate the dynamics of these medications. You will understand the effects on receptors; predict the action, adverse side effects, and drug-drug interactions; and improve the modern antipsychotic medications that already enable people coping with schizophrenia to work, have meaningful social relationships, and live more productive lives.
