Asenapine
Asenapine is an atypical antipsychotic primarily used for the treatment of schizophrenia and bipolar disorders. It acts primarily through antagonism at dopamine D2 and serotonin 5-HT2A receptors, contributing to the modulation of neurotransmitter systems. The substance shows a lower risk of extrapyramidal side effects compared to typical antipsychotics. Side effects may include sedation and orthostatic hypotension. Asenapine is administered sublingually to ensure better bioavailability.
