Such a mechanism of action is intended to regulate dopaminergic transmission - inhibit (antagonism) it in pathways where it is excessive (excessive transmission in the mesolimbic pathway in psychotic patients, excessive transmission in the tuberoinfundibular pathway in patients with hyperprolactinemia) and stimulate (agonism) it in pathways where it is too low (mesocortical pathway). This has a beneficial effect on both the reduction of adverse symptoms and the negative, affective and cognitive symptoms of patients suffering from schizophrenia.
