Pronunciation: [ɡlˈuːtɐmˌe͡ɪt antˈaɡənˌɪsts] (IPA) 
Glutamate antagonists, often called glutamate blockers, are a class of drugs that target the glutamate neurotransmitter in the brain. They work by inhibiting the overactivity of glutamate, which is associated with several neurological disorders like epilepsy, migraines, and neuropathic pain. Researchers are exploring alternative names for glutamate antagonists to improve their perception and reduce stigma associated with certain medical conditions. Synonyms for these medications could include glutamate inhibitors, NMDA receptor blockers, or excitatory amino acid antagonists. Renaming these drugs may help enhance patient understanding and acceptance, and facilitate more appropriate discussions regarding their usage in managing various neurological conditions.
