Drug Mode of Action |

|
||||||
| Certain drugs work by interacting with receptors, special sites on the surface of body cells. Drugs may bind to a specific receptor, possibly preventing naturally occurring chemicals from binding to the receptor. In so doing, if a drug enhances cell activity, it is called an agonist; if it blocks cell activity, it is called an antagonist. | ||||||
