Neurotransmitter uptake inhibitor

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A neurotransmitter uptake inhibitor is a drug which inhibits the reuptake of the neurotransmitter, thus extending the duration of its effect.

Examples include:

• Adrenergic uptake inhibitor/Norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor
• Dopamine reuptake inhibitor
• Serotonin reuptake inhibitor

• Serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor
• Norepinephrine-dopamine reuptake inhibitor
• Serotonin-noradrenaline-dopamine reuptake inhibitor
