Antagonism is a mechanism where one drug inhibits or counteracts the effects of another drug. Antagonism can occur through various means.
The antagonism of alpha-2 ( 2) receptors is the mechanism of drugs such as quetiapine, clozapine, risperidone, and aripiprazole; each has variable degrees of potency. Atypical antipsychotics with D2 antagonism and partial agonism combined with 5-HT2A antagonism are more effective for treating mania, and these include aripiprazole, quetiapine
Anticholinergic drugs antagonize the action of acetylcholine, typically at an acetylcholine receptor.
Chemical antagonism can be non-receptor mediated. A common example of chemical antagonism is the scenario in which one drug can bind to and inactivate an agonist, thus making less of the drug available to produce an effect. Examples of Chemical Antagonism. Protamine sulphate Heparin Protamine sulphate is Antidote in Heparin overdosage. 2.
Drugs that combine beta1 antagonism or partial agonism with betanism (celiprolol, dilevalol, labetalol, pindolol) or with alpha-antagonism (carvedilol
Hyperprolactinemia: As with other drugs that antagonize dopamine D UZEDY may antagonize the pharmacologic effects of dopamine agonists.

Competitive antagonism is the antagonism that blocks or reverses the effects of an agonist, provided that the antagonist is given at an
Drug antagonism may block or reduce the effectiveness of one or more of the drugs.
I like the conclusion, though.
