5-HT2c receptor agonist
So, imagine your body is like a big playground with lots of different parts that work together to make you feel happy, sad, hungry or sleepy.
Well, the 5-ht2c receptor is like a special part of the playground that helps control how much food you eat. When something activates (or turns on) this part of the playground, it makes you feel less hungry and makes you want to stop eating.
That thing that activates the 5-ht2c receptor is called an agonist. It's like a key that fits perfectly into the 5-ht2c receptor "lock" and makes it turn on.
So, a 5-ht2c receptor agonist is like a special key that can turn on the part of your playground that makes you feel less hungry and helps you stop eating!
