28
Q

indication for trazadone

A

major depressive disorder

insomnia

29
Q

Antagonizes D2 receptors & 5-HT2 receptors

37
Q

Selectively binds to GABAA-BZD receptors, thereby enhancing GABA effects

38
Q

indication for zolpidem

39
Q

Selectivity binds to airway cysteinyl leukotriene receptors blocking their stimulation by their endogenous ligands (LTC4, LTD4, LTE4) which are released by mast cells and eosinophils
