Mesoridazine is a D2
receptor antagonist. It acts
indirectly on reticular
formation.
↓ Positive, negative and
cognitive symptoms of
schizophrenia
Excess dopamine in the brain
triggers positive symptoms
of schizophrenia
Brain
Mesolimbic pathway
Blood vessel - blood brain
barrier
Passive Diffusion
Neuronal activity into
reticular formation is
reduced without affecting
its intrinsic ability to
activate the cerebral
cortex.
Mesoridazine is taken orally
