Answer 1

Benzodiazepines

definition - benzodiazepines are a sedative drug . It is used for the trees of several disorders like anxiety, seizure, spasms etc . They work by increasing the effect of a brain chemical called GABA ( gamma amino butyric acid )

GABA needs to be present for benzodiazepines effects to be detectable. It increase the frequency of the chloride iron channel opening thereby increasing the inhibitory effect of GABA on neuronal excitability.

Management of seizures with benzodiazepines

it is an important agent for the management of epilepsy.they are drugs for first choice for status epilepticus and seizure associated with post anoxic insult and are also frequently used in the treatment of febrile acute repetitive and alcoholic withdrawals treatment.

Benzodiazepines are commonly prescribed as anxiolytics sedative and anticonvulsants. They act on the GABA receptors by increasing the conductance chloride through ionic channel promoting a central nervous system depression.

The difference between typical and atypical antipsychotics-

typical antipsychotic- drug act on the dopaminergic system blocking the dopamine type 2 (D2 ) receptors.

Atypical antipsychotics- have lower affinity and occupancy for the dopaminergic receptors and a high degree of occupancy of the serotoninergic receptors 5- HT2A.
