What are the atypical antipsychotic drugs and why are they used?
Answer:
The term "atypical" is used because these drugs do not produce extrapyramidal symptoms and are less likely to produce tardive dyskinesia. These drugs include Clozapine (Clozaril), risperidone (Risperdal), and olanzapine (Zyprexa). All of these drugs block serotonin receptors, in addition to other neurochemical actions.
