Amisulpride(Cat No.:A000204)is an atypical antipsychotic used primarily to treat schizophrenia and, in lower doses, depression. It works by selectively blocking dopamine D2 and D3 receptors, particularly in the limbic system, reducing symptoms such as hallucinations, delusions, and emotional disturbances. Unlike other antipsychotics, Amisulpride exhibits a low affinity for serotonin receptors, which helps reduce side effects like sedation and weight gain. It is well-tolerated and effective in managing both positive and negative symptoms of schizophrenia, offering an improved quality of life for patients with fewer cognitive and motor side effects.
