Miscellaneous antipsychotic agents

What are Miscellaneous antipsychotic agents?

Miscellaneous antipsychotics are agents that have different modes of action to treat schizophrenia and other mood disorders. They are slightly different to the typical and atypical antipsychotics.

Miscellaneous antibiotics are used to treat infections caused by susceptible bacteria or other susceptible organisms, usually when other more common agents are not effective or not tolerated. There is not a single antibiotic that will treat all infectious disease scenarios.

first generation (older), or ‘typical’ antipsychotics.
second generation (newer), or ‘atypical’ antipsychotics.
