Dopamine antagonists

Dopamine antagonists are medications that block the action of dopamine, a neurotransmitter in the brain involved in mood, motivation, and movement. These drugs are commonly used to treat mental health disorders, such as schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, by reducing symptoms like hallucinations and delusions. They can also be used to manage nausea and vomiting. While they can be effective, dopamine antagonists may have side effects, including drowsiness, weight gain, and movement disorders. Their use requires careful monitoring by healthcare professionals to balance benefits and potential risks.
