How Revanil works
Revanil is an anti-Parkinson drug chemically related to the dopaminergic ergoline Parkinson's drugs. Revanil binds to the 5-HT(1A) and 5-HT(2A/2C) receptors. It is also thought to bind to the dopamine receptor and to act as a dopamine agonist. Evidence has also emerged that Revanil also binds to the Histamine H1 receptor.
