Difference between Opioid antagonist and Receptor antagonist

Opioid antagonist vs. Receptor antagonist

An opioid antagonist, or opioid receptor antagonist, is a receptor antagonist that acts on one or more of the opioid receptors. A receptor antagonist is a type of receptor ligand or drug that blocks or dampens a biological response by binding to and blocking a receptor rather than activating it like an agonist.

Similarities between Opioid antagonist and Receptor antagonist

Opioid antagonist and Receptor antagonist have 10 things in common (in Unionpedia): Analgesic, Buprenorphine, Heroin, Inverse agonist, Methadone, Morphine, Naloxone, Opioid overdose, Opioid receptor, Receptor antagonist.

Analgesic
