Dr. Amged 1 Depressant Drugs
Dr. Amged 2 Antipsychotic Drugs
Dr. Amged 3 • An antipsychotic (or major tranquilizer or neuroleptic) is a medication primarily used to manage psychosis (e.g., delusion or hallucination), particularly in schizophrenia and bipolar disorder.
Dr. Amged 4 • Psychoses can be organic or related to a specific toxic chemical, or to a definite disease process, or they can be idiopathic. • Idiopathic acute psychotic reactions have been reported to follow extremely severe acute stress. • Schizophrenia is a group of chronic idiopathic psychotic disorders.
Dr. Amged 5 • Suppression of the dopamine activity is the major mechanism by which the antipsychotics elicit their action (mesolimbic pathway). • This may be achieved via direct interaction
(antagonism) with D2 receptors. • Other CNS receptors systems (acetylcholine, histamine, norepinephrine, and serotonin) appear to be involved, especially for the atypical drugs.
Dr. Amged 6 Classification of Antipsychotic Agents
• Phenothiazine and thioxanthene derivatives. • Butyrophenone derivatives. • Benzamide derivatives. • Benzazepine derivatives. • Benzisoxazole and benzisothiazole derivatives.
