Serotonin Agonists

Serotonin agonists are medications that activate serotonin receptors in the brain. Serotonin is a key chemical involved in regulating mood, pain, and other functions. These drugs mimic serotonin’s effects, helping to relieve conditions like migraines or depression. For example, triptans are serotonin agonists used to treat migraines by constricting blood vessels and reducing pain. They work by stimulating specific serotonin receptors to restore balance and alleviate symptoms, making them effective tools in managing certain neurological and mood-related disorders.
