What does it do?

Amisulpride is an antipsychotic medication that selectively acts on dopamine receptors. It is primarily used to alleviate symptoms of schizophrenia, such as those associated with the disorder.

Amisulpride works by blocking dopamine receptors in the brain, thereby regulating excessive dopamine activity. This results in a reduction of major symptoms of schizophrenia, such as hallucinations and delusions.
