SSIAs

SSIAs (selective serotonin inverse agonists) are used to treat hallucinations and delusions associated with Parkinson's disease. They block certain receptors in the brain to help prevent hallucinations, but do not affect dopamine, unlike other types of antipsychotic medications.

Key takeaways

Selective serotonin inverse agonists (SSIAs) are used to treat hallucinations and delusions from Parkinson's disease psychosis. It's not clear how they work, but it may be by targeting serotonin receptors in the brain, which helps to balance mood and reduce symptoms like hallucinations and delusions. These medications are typically available in oral forms. Pimavanserin (Nuplazid) is an example of an SSIA.
