Partial Agonists

A partial agonist behaves like an agonist under some conditions and acts like an antagonist under different conditions. The drug butorphanol (Stadol) is an example of a partial agonist. Partial agonists behave like antagonists in the presence of a high concentration of a full agonist or when administered after recent exposure to high concentrations of an agonist.
