Tachyphylaxis |
|
|
TachyphylaxisTachyphylaxis is the diminution of a pharmacological response during the continued or repeated administration of an activating substance. Tachyphylaxis or receptor desensitization appears counterintuitive because the addition of more of an activating ligand lessens the elicited response.See also desensitization or physiological tolerance.
