Molindone is an antipsychotic used to treat schizophrenia.
Molindone is an antipsychotic used to treat schizophrenia.
The exact mechanism has not been established, however, based on electroencephalogram (EEG) studies, molindone is thought to act by occupying (antagonizing) dopamine (D2) receptor sites in the reticular limbic systems in the brain, thus decreasing dopamine activity. Decreased dopamine activity results in decreased physiological effects normally induced by excessive dopamine stimulation, such as those typically seen in manifestations of psychotic disorders.
Molindone is used for the management of the manifestations of psychotic disorders.
