Prescription drugs that are used to reduce
medications
psychotic symptoms; frequently used in the
treatment of schizophre- nia; also called
neuroleptics.
Block dopamine, acetylcholine, histamine, and
norepi- nephrine receptors in the brain and
periphery. Acute and chronic psychosis,
schizophrenia, manic phase of bipolar disorders,
Tourette's syndrome, delusional and schizoaf-
fective disorders, dementia. Conventional (typical)
or atyp- ical.
Patient education: s/s of orthostatic hypotension -
move slowly when standing up. Sedation - avoid
hazardous ac- tivities such as driving until
sedation wears off.

a group of medications originally developed to
combat psychotic symptoms by reducing
dopamine levels in the brain; also called
conventional or typical antipsychotics block
receptors for dopamine, acetylcholine,
