DHA-clozapine
DHA-clozapine (pronunciation: D-H-A clozapine) is a novel antipsychotic drug that is currently under investigation for its potential therapeutic effects in the treatment of schizophrenia and other related mental disorders.
Etymology
The term "DHA-clozapine" is derived from the names of its two main components: DHA (Docosahexaenoic acid), an omega-3 fatty acid that is a primary structural component of the human brain, and clozapine, an atypical antipsychotic medication.
Pharmacology
DHA-clozapine is a unique compound that combines the properties of DHA and clozapine. The DHA component is believed to enhance the therapeutic effects of clozapine, while potentially reducing its side effects. However, the exact mechanism of action of DHA-clozapine is still under investigation.
