Mode of Action
How Does It Work?
Sizodon Md 2 mg tablet is an antipsychotic that differs from the rest. It alters the number of chemical messengers in the brain (dopamine and serotonin) that enhances mood, thoughts, and behaviour. It works by blocking the activity of dopaminergic D2 and serotonergic 5-HT2A receptors. This results in a reduction in dopaminergic and serotonergic neurotransmission. As a result, it alleviates the symptoms of schizophrenia (such as delusions and hallucinations), mania or aggression. It also keeps the symptoms from coming back.
