serotonin receptor antagonists

Serotonin receptor antagonists are medications that block certain receptors in the brain and body that respond to serotonin, a chemical involved in mood, digestion, and other functions. By blocking these receptors, these drugs can reduce symptoms related to serotonin, such as nausea, migraines, or anxiety. For example, some medications used to prevent migraines work by blocking serotonin receptors to prevent headaches. These drugs are carefully designed to target specific receptor types, helping manage various conditions without affecting other serotonin functions significantly.
