The effects of Narcan can be dramatic. Even if the overdose victim is unconscious or near death, they can become fully conscious and alert within seconds of injection.7. A drug can act as an antagonist in several ways also. A drug may inactivate an enzyme preventing the neurotransmitter from being produced. It can block transporter molecules that fill synaptic vesicles so that there is no neurotransmitter available when the synaptic vesicles rupture against the presynaptic membrane. The drug can prevent the release of the neurotransmitter from the terminal button. It can be a receptor blocker by binding to the receptor’s binding site and preventing the neurotransmitter from binding to the site. It can selectively activate presynaptic receptors causing less neurotransmitter to be released.8. Understanding the principles of psychopharmacology is important to those in the field of psychology. As a clinician, many clients will have medications prescribed for differing medical and psychological conditions. It is important to understand how these medications work, how they are administered, and how they may affect behavior. It is also important to be familiar with these principles in order to understand current research.9. *Why is it important for those mental health professional who do not specifically prescribed to be familiar with these principles?
