Competitive Antagonists correct answer: Compete with neurotransmitters for access to orthosteric binding sites on receptors *block responses to agonists How do competitive antagonists affect DRC? correct answer: Cause a rightward shift How do you reverse the effects of a antagonists? correct answer: Add more exogenous agonist or increase the concentration of endogenous for that receptor in order to overcome that antagonism When an antagonist competes with an agonist, does the anta...

Antagonisitic Drugs interact with the receptor but prevent a response, agonist drugs which bind to the neurotransmitters in the brain, antagonist drugs do the opposite: they block the brain's neurotransmitters. The action of neurotransmitter is obstructed. Buprenorphine also acts as an antagonist, meaning it blocks other opioids, while allowing for some opioid effect of its own to suppress withdrawal symptoms and cravings. Agonist-antagonist opioids In pharmacology the term ago...
