Difference between Buspirone and Dopamine receptor D2

Buspirone vs. Dopamine receptor D2

Buspirone, sold under the brand name Buspar, is an anxiolytic drug that is primarily used to treat generalized anxiety disorder (GAD). Dopamine receptor D2, also known as D2R, is a protein that, in humans, is encoded by the DRD2 gene.
