Acetophenazine
An older antipsychotic medication from the phenothiazine class that was used to treat schizophrenia and other serious psychiatric conditions by blocking dopamine receptors in the brain. It reduces hallucinations, delusions, and disorganized thinking but carries a risk of movement-related side effects known as extrapyramidal symptoms, including tremors and involuntary muscle movements. It has been largely superseded by newer antipsychotic medications with improved tolerability profiles.

Wirkmechanismus
Blocks dopamine D2 receptors in the mesolimbic pathway, reducing excessive dopaminergic neurotransmission associated with psychotic symptoms. Many also antagonize serotonin 5-HT2A receptors, which may improve negative symptoms and reduce extrapyramidal side effects.
