Buy Deprex 5mg Tablets Online Now in Nairobi, Kenya – 100’s Pack
Deprex 5mg tablets contain Olanzapine, an atypical (second-generation) antipsychotic used primarily to treat schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and other mood disorders. It helps to balance dopamine and serotonin levels in the brain, reducing hallucinations, mood swings, and other symptoms associated with mental health conditions.
How Does Olanzapine Work?
Olanzapine acts as an antagonist on dopamine D2 receptors in the mesolimbic pathway, blocking dopamine from binding to post-synaptic receptors. This mechanism helps control excessive dopamine activity, which is commonly associated with schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. Additionally, it influences serotonin receptors, contributing to mood stabilization.
